THE  OATH  OF  HIPPOCRATES 

I  do  solemnly  swear  by  that  which  I  hold  most  sacred  that  I  will  be  loyal  to  the  pro- 
fession of  medicine  and  just  and  generous  to  its  members.  That  I  will  lead  my  life  and 
practice  my  art  in  uprightness  and  honor.  That  into  whatsoever  house  I  shall  enter  it 
shall  be  for  the  good  of  the  sick  to  the  utmost  of  my  power.  I  hold  myself  aloof  from 
wrong,  from  corruption,  from  the  tempting  of  others  to  vice.  That  I  will  exercise  my 
art  solely  for  the  cure  of  my  patients,  and  will  give  no  drug,  perform  no  operation  for 
a  criminal  purpose  even  if  solicited,  far  less  suggest  it.  That  whatsoever  I  shall  see  or 
hear  of  the  lives  of  men  which  is  not  fitting  to  be  spoken,  I  will  keep  inviolably  secret. 
These  things  I  do  promise  and  in  proportion  as  I  am  faithful  to  this  my  oath,  may  hap- 
piness and  good  repute  be  ever  mine;  the  opposite  if  I  shall  be  forsworn.

Profile 


Established  in  1807,  the  University  of  Maryland  School  of  Medicine  is  the  fifth 
oldest  medical  school  in  the  United  States  and  the  first  to  institute  a  residency 
training  program.  An  integral  part  of  the  1 1  -campus  University  of  Maryland  Sys- 
tem, the  School  of  Medicine  was  the  founding  school  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land. Today  the  School  of  Medicine  serves  as  foundation  of  a  large  academic 
health  center  that  combines  medical  education,  biomedical  research,  patient 
care  and  service  to  the  community.  While  its  traditional  excellence  remains  con- 
stant, the  School  of  Medicine  and  its  national  reputation  continue  to  grow. 

The  School  of  Medicine  boasts  the  oldest  building  in  the  Western 
hemisphere  in  continuous  use  for  medical  education,  the  meticulously  restored 
Davidge  Hall,  which  was  built  in  1812.  Two  major  classroom  and  laboratory 
buildings,  the  14-floor  Bressler  Research  Building  and  the  nine-floor  Medical 
School  Teaching  Facility,  were  completed  within  the  past  1 5  years.  The  mid-rise, 
three-floor  Biomedical  Research  Facility  will  be  completed  in  late  1992  provid- 
ing an  additional  32,500  net  square  feet  of  space.  On  the  drawing  board  is  the 
Health  Sciences  Facility,  a  new  research  and  teaching  facility  slated  for  comple- 
tion in  1995. 

The  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  Campus  continues  to  expand 
as  well.  The  new  Veterans  Administration  Medical  Hospital  will  open  in  the  fall 
of  1992.  A  new  patient  tower  for  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  will 
be  completed  in  1994  and  a  new  facility  to  house  the  Health  Sciences  Library  is 
in  the  planning  stage. 

MILESTONES 

The  foundations  of  the  School  of  Medicine  date  back  to  1789,  when  Baltimore 
physicians  organized  the  Medical  Society  of  Baltimore  in  an  effort  to  train  young 
physicians  to  succeed  them.  Following  the  Revolutionary  War  their  numbers  had 
been  greatly  diminished  and  they  wanted  to  prevent  charlatans  from  practicing 
in  the  area.  Members  of  the  Medical  Society  began  to  train  prospective  physi- 
cians in  their  homes,  lecturing  on  anatomy,  surgery  and  chemistry.  They  soon 
petitioned  the  Maryland  State  Legislature  to  establish  a  college  oi  medicine  on 
a  firm  basis  and  under  the  protection  of  the  law. 

This  request  was  approved  on  January  20,  1807,  together  with  permis- 
sion to  hold  a  lottery  to  raise  money  for  a  home  for  the  fledgling  "College  of  Med- 
icine in  Maryland." 

Dr.  John  Beale  Davidge,  a  native  Marylander  and  physician  who  had 
trained  in  Scotland,  became  dean  and  took  the  chair  in  surgery,  f  lis  founding  fac 
ult\  were  James  ( xx  ke  (anatomy  and  physiology),  James  Shaw  (chemistry)  and 
Nathaniel  Totter  (theory  and  practice  of  medicine).  From  John  Eager  \  loward,  a 
Revolutionary  War  hero  and  former  Maryland  governor,  Davidge,  Shaw  and 
c  bcke  bought  land  that  was  "quite  some  distance  from  town"  to  prote<  t  against

unruly  mobs  who  had  demolished  the  doctors'  first  anatomical  theater  in  violent 
opposition  to  the  dissection  of  human  cadavers.  From  the  beginning,  there  was 
a  strong  emphasis  on  bedside  teaching.  The  first  class  of  seven  received  clinical 
instruction  at  the  Baltimore  Almshouse,  a  workhouse  and  infirmary  for  the  poor. 


Davidge  Hall  was  designed  by  Robert  Carey  Long,  Sr.  and  modeled  after 
the  Pantheon  in  Rome.  It  was  completed  in  1812  and  meticulously  renovated  in 
the  early  1980s.  In  addition  to  the  building's  two  expansive  circular  amphithe- 
aters, one  atop  the  other,  there  are  dissecting  cubbyholes,  secret  stairways  and 
hidden  exits  that  afforded  early  students  and  their  professors  safe  passage  from 
angry  mobs. 

In  1823,  the  Baltimore  Infirmary,  forerunner  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land Hospital,  was  built  opposite  Davidge  Hall  on  the  site  of  the  present  Balti- 
more Student  Union.  It  was  the  first  hospital  founded  by  a  medical  school  for  the 
express  purpose  of  clinical  instruction,  and  the  site  of  the  first  intramural  resi- 
dency program  in  the  United  States.  Senior  medical  students  lived  in  the  hospi- 
tal while  helping  to  care  for  patients.  The  building  was  still  in  active  use  until 
1973,  when  the  clinics  located  there  were  moved  into  the  new  addition  o(  the 
University  of  Maryland  Hospital. 

In  curriculum  development,  the  School  of  Medicine  claims  a  long  and 
proud  tradition  as  an  innovative  leader.  Maryland  was  the  first  to  recognize  the  value 
of  the  basic  sciences,  and  in  1833  intrcxiuced  the  first  preventive  medicine  course. 
In  1800,  Dr.  John  Crawford,  whose  personal  library  became  the  nucleus  of  the  med- 
ical library,  was  the  first  to  vaccinate  Baltimoreans  against  smallpox.  As  early  as 
1 810  he  had  presented  evidence  of  the  contagious  character  of  tuberculosis. 

The  techniques  of  auscultation  and  percussion  were  taught  at  the 
School  of  Medicine  for  the  first  time  in  Baltimore  as  early  as  1841,  and  in  1844 
Dr.  David  Stewart,  the  first  professor  of  pharmacy  in  the  United  States,  initiated 
his  lectures  at  Maryland.  In  1848  Maryland  became  the  first  school  to  require

anatomical  dissection,  followed  six  years  later  by  the  introduction  of  compulsory 
courses  in  gross  and  microscopic  pathology.  After  another  six  years,  compulsory 
courses  in  experimental  physiology  and  microscopy  were  introduced.  A  mile- 
stone in  cancer  research  occurred  in  1853,  when  Maryland's  Dr.  Francis  Don- 
aldson became  the  first  person  in  America  to  advocate  biopsy  and  microscopic 
diagnosis  of  malignancy.  Maryland  was  the  first  to  establish  chairs  in  the  diseases 
of  women  and  children  (1867)  and  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear  (1873). 

Mergers  with  the  Baltimore  Medical  College  in  1913  and  the  College 
oi  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  1915  gained  greatly  expanded  clinical  facilities 
and  faculty  for  the  School  of  Medicine.  Early  in  the  twentieth  century,  Drs.  James 
Rowland  and  Louis  Douglas  initiated  off-site  obstetrical  care  and  home  delivery, 
prenatal  clinics  and  an  Rh  blood  typing  laboratory,  significantly  improving 
infant  and  maternal  health. 


The  School  of  Medicine  has  had  its  share  o(  medical  breakthroughs, 
including  in  more  recent  decades  discovery  of  the  thyrotropic  hormone,  the  first 
successful  antibiotic  treatment  of  Rocky  Mountain  spotted  fever,  the  firs!  spe- 
cific cure  for  typhoid  fever  and  the  successful  treatment  of  diabetic  ketoacidosis 
with  low  dose  insulin.  The  Shock  Trauma  C  "enter,  which  opened  in  1  %  1 ,  serves 
as  a  worldwide  model  for  emergency  medical  treatment.  In  L967  theschool  began 
one  ot  the  first  formalized  residency  programs  in  family  practice. 

The  rest,  of  course,  is  not  yet  history,  but  certainly  history  in  the  making. 


EDUCATION 

In  the  tradition.il  undergraduate  curriculum,  medical  students  concentrate  on 
bask  sC  iences  tor  two  wars,  then  begin  to  apply  this  knowledge  to  ^  linical  set- 
tings. Ample  allowance  is  made  tor  electives,  independent  stud^  and  special 


I1  KOI  u  i      .     ) 


research  projects.  Throughout  the  four  years,  each  student  has  a  basic  science  and 
a  clinical  faculty  advisor. 

The  ties  between  the  medical  school  and  the  hospital  enrich  both  med- 
ical education  and  health  care.  All  physicians  practicing  at  the  University  of 
Maryland  Medical  System  and  the  Medical  Faculty  Foundation  Professional 
Building  have  School  of  Medicine  faculty  appointments  and  are  actively 
involved  in  the  educational  process  in  addition  to  supervising  residency  training 
for  more  than  600  postgraduate  positions  at  the  University  Hospital  and  affili- 
ated hospitals.  The  Medical  System  includes  a  747-bed  teaching  hospital,  Can- 
cer Center  and  R  Adams  Cowley  Shock  Trauma  Center  on  campus,  as  well  as 
the  Montebello  Rehabilitation  Center  and  the  James  Lawrence  Kernan  Hospi- 
tal off  campus. 


Medical  care  and  education  are  further  enhanced  by  the  relocation  of 
the  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration  Medical  Center  to  this  campus  in  a  new 
state-of-the-art  hospital  opening  this  year  adjacent  to  the  School  of  Medicine 
and  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System.  Together,  these  facilities  serve 
as  the  major  clinical  training  sites  as  well  as  a  source  of  comprehensive  health 
care  for  the  local  community  and  the  state.  The  school  also  has  established  clin- 
ical affiliations  throughout  the  region,  giving  students  unusual  flexibility  in  clin- 
ical experiences. 

In  an  effort  to  nurture  more  interest  in  basic  research  and  to  meet  the 
increasing  demand  for  physician-scientists,  the  school  offers  a  combined  MD/PhD 
program  in  10  medical  disciplines  and  an  MD/MS  program  in  preventive  medi- 
cine. Although  the  schedule  can  be  flexible,  MD/PhD  students  typically  complete 
the  freshman  and  sophomore  years  of  medical  school,  enroll  as  graduate  students 
for  approximately  two  years,  and  then  begin  their  clinical  clerkships.

Medical  students  in  the  track  leading  to  the  MD/MS  in  preventive  med- 
icine may  complete  the  dual  degree  program  in  four,  or  more  typically,  five  years. 
The  fifth  year  is  counted  fully  as  one  year  of  preventive  medicine  residency  train- 
ing by  the  American  Board  of  Preventive  Medicine. 

Graduate  programs  are  offered  at  the  master's  and  doctoral  levels  in  the 
basic  sciences.  There  is  a  baccalaureate  program  in  medical  and  research  tech- 
nology and  a  master's  program  in  physical  therapy  as  well  as  a  number  of  inter- 
disciplinary programs  with  both  service  and  research  components.  Continuing 
education  programs  are  sponsored  for  practicing  physicians. 

The  School  of  Medicine  offers  students  an  excellent  spectrum  of 
resources  and  field  experiences.  Located  along  the  Baltimore-Washington  corri- 
dor, the  school  is  in  the  midst  of  a  great  concentration  of  health  care  institutions, 
research  centers,  government  agencies  and  professional  associations.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  Medical  System  is  the  school's  primary  training  site  for  both 
medical  students  and  residents.  In  addition,  students  and  residents  are  also 
trained  through  the  network  of  Baltimore  metropolitan  hospitals  and  the  Balti- 
more Veterans  Administration  Medical  Center  which  are  affiliated  with  the 
School  of  Medicine. 


RESEARCH 

Ranked  among  the  top  public  medical  schools  in  Nil  1  research  support,  the  level 
oi  research  funding  tor  the  School  ot  Medicine  has  risen  dramatically  in  recent 
years  in  contrast  to  a  leveling  national  trend  in  gram  support.  In  FY  90  the  School 
of  Medicine  ranked  ^1  in  percentage  increase  in  Nil!  funding  among  all  state 
supported  medical  .schools  and  ~1  among  all  schools.  In  1990-91  the  School  ot 
Medicine's  grant  and  contract  support  totaled  $77,493,739.  Strong  multi-depart 
mental  investigations  in  hypertension,  genetics,  pharmacology,  neurobiology

and  immunology  place  this  institution  at  the  forefront  of  biomedical  research. 
Major  awards  illustrate  the  strength  and  scope  of  the  research  environment  at 
this  institution. 

1H  AIDS  Risk  Prevention  in  Inner  City  Youths — Department  of  Pediatrics. 
This  five-year  project  proposes  to  alter  the  high-risk  behaviors  of  inner- 
city  youths  as  a  key  contribution  in  stopping  the  spread  of  AIDS.  The  spe- 
cific HIV  risk  activities  to  be  prevented  are  obviously  "unsafe"  sexual 
conduct  and  drug  abuse.  However,  the  array  of  issues  that  actually  affect 
adolescent  behavior  are  a  complex  matrix  of  psychological,  cognitive  and 
cultural  variables  that  are  rooted  at  the  community  level.  By  integrating 
these  factors  into  the  formulation  of  innovative  intervention  models,  this 
program  would  like  to  redirect  the  interactive  behavior  of  100  groups  of 
adolescents  in  a  positive  manner.  The  actual  outcome  of  the  project  will 
be  several  goal-oriented  and  community-based  activities.  The  impact  of 
the  final  approach  will  be  evaluated  in  the  individuals  involved  but  should 
also  be  felt  community-wide. 

H  Under  the  NIH  Vaccine  Testing  and  Evaluation  Unit  five-year,  $7.3  mil- 
lion contract,  the  Center  for  Vaccine  Development  (Department  of 
Medicine)  conducts  studies  of  the  safety,  immunogenicity  and  efficacy 
of  candidate  vaccines,  and  of  the  mechanisms  of  pathogenesis  in  human 
volunteers.  Candidate  vaccines  against  typhoid  fever,  traveler's  diarrhea, 
cholera,  malaria  and  other  infectious  diseases  are  being  tested  in  this  facil- 
ity, which  includes  a  32-bed  Research  Isolation  Ward  in  University  Hos- 
pital. This  is  the  fourth  consecutive  NIH  vaccine  evaluation  contract 
awarded  to  the  university,  which  pioneered  the  use  of  community  volun- 
teers in  vaccine  studies  in  the  mid-1970s. 

H  Supported  by  a  $2.4  million  grant  from  the  National  Eye  Institute,  the 
School  of  Medicine  will  soon  begin  participating  in  the  national  Related 
Eye  Disease  Study,  whose  mission  is  the  early  identification  of  signs  of  age- 
related  degeneration  of  the  retina's  center  or  macula. 

Hi  Balancing  appropriate  health  care  and  cost  is  the  focus  o{  a  major  grant  to 
the  School  of  Medicine's  Department  of  Epidemiology  and  Preventive 
Medicine.  A  five-year,  $5  million  grant  from  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Health  and  Human  Services  will  enable  two  epidemiologists  to  collabo- 
rate with  the  Division  of  Orthopaedic  Surgery  to  compare  the  effective- 
ness of  hip  fracture  repair  and  total  hip  replacement  in  the  elderly.  They 
will  then  develop  guidelines  to  assure  patients  optimal  recovery  while 
avoiding  unnecessary  and  costly  procedures. 

■I  The  Baltimore  Program  for  Homeless  Persons  with  Severe  Mental  Illness 
is  an  NIMH-sponsored  research  demonstration  project  examining  inno- 

6     •     SCHOOL  OF   MEDICINE 


vative  approaches  to  providing  comprehensive  community-based  services 
to  persons  who  are  homeless  and  mentally  ill.  This  interdisciplinary  treat- 
ment team  delivers  mobile  mental  health,  medical  and  social  services  to 
homeless  persons  in  various  community  settings  and  emphasizes  continu- 
ity of  care.  The  program  offers  an  excellent  training  site  for  students  inter- 
ested in  delivery  of  care  in  the  community  to  disadvantaged  populations. 
The  program  is  under  the  direction  of  the  Department  of  Psychiatry's  Cen- 
ter for  Mental  Health  Services  Research. 

A  Geriatrics  Research,  Education  and  Clinical  Center  (GRECC)  has  been 
established  at  the  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration  Medical  Center.  As 
one  of  16  national  centers  of  excellence  for  the  advancement  of  research 
and  clinical  care  in  the  elderly,  the  Baltimore  center  focuses  on  the  pre- 
vention of  cardiovascular  disease  and  rehabilitation  from  stroke  in  older 
veterans.  Interdisciplinary  research  programs  examine  the  prevalence  of 
risk  factors  for  cardiovascular  disease  in  older  veterans  and  implement 
interventions  of  exercise  training,  nutrition  counseling,  smoking  cessation 
and  neurorehabilitation  to  determine  the  effectiveness  of  and  the  mecha- 
nisms by  which  these  programs  reduce  risk  for  cardiovascular  disease  and 
improve  the  functional  capacity  and  quality  of  life  of  older  veterans.  The 
goal  o(  the  GRECC  is  to  attract  outstanding  professionals  to  conduct 
research,  teach  and  deliver  clinical  care  in  interdisciplinary  programs 
designed  to  promote  health  in  older  veterans. 


PUBLIC  SERVICE 

In  addition  to  training  the  majority  oi  Maryland's  prac  ticing  physicians,  the  fac- 
ulty of  the  School  oi  Medicine  play  an  important  role  in  providing  leadership  in 
health  planning  and  policy  making.  For  example,  the  Maryland  Plan,  .i  joini 


profili     • 


School  of  Medicine-state  Department  of  Health  and  Mental  Hygiene  venture, 
has  revolutionized  mental  health  care  in  the  state  and  become  a  national  model. 
Through  an  innovative  residency  program,  the  project  has  attracted  board-cer- 
tified psychiatrists  to  administrative  and  clinical  positions  in  state  mental  hospi- 
tals and,  in  the  process,  significantly  improved  the  quality  of  patient  care. 

Family  medicine  specialists  augment  house  calls  with  coordination  of 
the  Supportive  Care  Program.  Funded  by  the  Robert  Wood  Johnson  Foundation, 
the  interdisciplinary  health  and  home  care  program  enables  frail  elderly  and  dis- 
abled Baltimoreans  to  remain  in  their  own  homes  and  avoid  unnecessary  place- 
ment in  nursing  homes.

APPLICANT  SELECTION  CRITERIA 

Academic  achievement,  extracurricular  activities,  personal  characteristics,  rec- 
ommendations from  the  premedical  committee  or  college  instructors,  scores  on 
the  Medical  College  Admissions  Test  (MCAT)  and  personal  interview  all  are 
considered  in  the  committee's  evaluation  of  an  applicant.  Academic  achieve- 
ment and/or  high  MCAT  scores  do  not  in  themselves  ensure  acceptance.  Of  sig- 
nificant concern  to  the  Committee  on  Admissions  are  the  applicant's  character, 
personality  and  potential  to  perform  as  a  medical  student  and  as  a  future  physi- 
cian. Personal  integrity,  emotional  maturity  and  stability,  motivation,  interests 
and  activities  outside  the  classroom  and  interpersonal  and  communication  skills 
are  all  carefully  evaluated.  Candidates  must  be  proficient  in  both  written  and 
spoken  English. 

Applications  from  persons  with  outstanding  credentials  from  other 
areas  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  are  welcome  and  will  receive  all  possible 
consideration.  Preference  in  the  selection  process  is  given  to  residents  of  the  state 
of  Maryland.  Applications  can  be  processed  only  from  citizens  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada  or  from  individuals  who  reside  in  this  country  on  a  permanent 
resident  visa.  Occasionally  an  applicant  residing  in  the  United  States  holds  a  visa 
permitting  him/her  to  live  in  the  United  States  indefinitely  and  to  establish  res- 
idency in  one  of  the  states.  Applications  are  accepted  from  these  individuals.

sity or  college  attended.  Preparation  at  a  foreign  college  or  university  must  be  sup- 
plemented by  a  year  or  more  of  work  in  an  approved  university  or  college  in  the

mittee or  an  officially  designated  premedical  advisor  is  required.  It  the  applicant's 
undergraduate  college  or  university  docs  not  have  a  premedical  committee  or 
advisor,  three  letters  of  recommendation  are  required  from  faculty  who  have 
taught  the  applicant.  Two  ot  these  letters  must  come  from  instructors  who  have 
taught  the  applicant  in  the  sciences.  Applicants  who  have  earned  advanced

ity and  character  in  an  objective  and  critical  manner.  All  letters  of  recommen- 
dation should  be  sent  directly  to  the  Committee  on  Admissions.  They  are  not  to

sions to  determine  if  an  interview  is  to  be  granted.  All  interviews  are  conducted 
at  the  University  of  Maryland  School  of  Medicine.  These  interviews  are  sched- 
uled in  advance  by  invitation.

received  (December  1).  The  Office  of  Records  and  Registration  (a  campuswide 
office),  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore,  621  West  Lombard  Street,  Balti- 
more, Maryland  21201;  410-706-7480,  is  responsible  for  all  decisions  regarding  res- 
idency.  All  questions,  complaints  and  appeals  regarding  residency  status  should  be 
directed  to  that  office,  not  to  the  Office  of  Admissions  for  the  School  of  Medicine.

tion days,  will  be  subject  to  a  late  registration  fee. 

Courses  taken  concurrently  with  a  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore 
registration  at  another  campus  or  institution  must  have  program  approval  in 
advance  by  the  appropriate  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  officials.  Off- 
campus  registration  forms  are  available  in  each  dean's  office  and  in  the  Office  of 
Records  and  Registration. 

Although  the  university  regularly  mails  bills  to  advance-registered  stu- 
dents, it  cannot  assume  responsibility  of  their  receipt.  If  any  student  does  not 
receive  a  bill  prior  to  the  beginning  of  a  semester  in  which  he  or  she  has  advance- 
registered,  it  is  that  student's  responsibility  to  contact  Student  Accounting, 
Administration  Building,  during  normal  business  hours. 

Students  who  arena-register  or  advance-register  and  subsequently 
decide  not  to  attend  UMAB  must  notify  the  Office  of  Records  and  Registration, 
Room  326,  Baltimore  Student  Union,  in  writing,  prior  to  the  first  day  of  instruc-

tion.  If  this  office  has  not  received  a  request  for  cancellation  by  5:00  p.m.  of  the 
last  day  before  instruction  begins,  the  university  will  assume  the  student  plans  to 
attend  and  accepts  the  financial  obligation. 

After  classes  begin,  students  who  wish  to  terminate  their  registration 
must  submit  an  application  for  withdrawal  to  the  Office  of  Records  and  Registra- 
tion. Students  are  liable  for  all  charges  applicable  at  the  time  of  the  withdrawal. 

If  a  satisfactory  settlement  or  agreement  for  settlement  is  not  made  with 
the  Business  Office  within  10  days  after  a  payment  is  due,  the  student  is  auto- 
matically barred  from  attendance  at  classes  and  will  forfeit  the  other  privileges  o( 
the  School  of  Medicine. 

WITHDRAWAL 

Students  who  wish  to  leave  the  School  of  Medicine  at  any  time  during  the  aca- 
demic year  are  required  to  file  a  letter  of  resignation  with  the  dean.  In  addition, 
an  Application  for  Withdrawal  form  bearing  the  proper  signatures  must  be  filed 
with  the  Office  of  Records  and  Registration.  The  student  must  satisfy  the  author- 
ities that  he  or  she  has  no  outstanding  obligations  to  the  school  and  must  return 
his  or  her  student  identification  card. 

If  the  above  procedures  are  not  completed,  the  student  will  not  be  enti- 
tled to  honorable  dismissal  and  will  forfeit  the  right  to  any  refunds  to  which  that 
student  would  otherwise  be  entitled.  The  date  used  in  computing  refunds  is  the 
date  the  application  for  withdrawal  is  signed  by  the  dean. 

ACADEMIC  STANDING 

Students  who  voluntarily  withdraw  during  an  academic  semester  will  be  given 
no  credit.  Students  are  not  permitted  to  resort  to  withdrawal  in  order  to  preclude 
current  or  impending  failures.  Their  standing  on  withdrawal  will  be  recorded  at 
the  Office  oi  Records  and  Registration.  Students  who  withdraw  from  the  med- 
ical school  and  later  desire  readmission  must  apply  to  the  Committee  on  Admis- 
sions unless  other  arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  dean's  written  consent.

■     A  carrying  case  (recommended) 

Students  are  cautioned  about  purchasing  used  or  odd-lot  microscopes 
since  some  of  the  older  instruments  are  in  poor  optical  or  mechanical  condi- 
tion. Second-hand  microscopes  should  be  approved  by  the  department  prior  to 
purchase. 

20     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


Based  on  the  determination  oi  financial  need,  first-year  medical  stu- 
dents may  qualify  for  loan  of  a  microscope. 

Other  Equipment:  By  the  second  year,  medical  students  are  required 
to  have  an  ophthalmoscope,  otoscope,  a  blood  pressure  cuff  and  stethoscope. 
The  estimated  cost  of  these  items,  plus  other  essentials  such  as  lab  coats,  is 
$400  to  $450. 

FINANCIAL  ASSISTANCE 

The  School  of  Medicine's  financial  aid  program  is  available  to  medical  students 
who  demonstrate  financial  need.  Through  a  varying  combination  of  grants, 
scholarships,  loans  and  part-time  employment,  students  may  receive  assistance 
in  meeting  educational  expenses.  In  addition  to  school  resources,  outside  fund- 
ing agencies  make  financial  assistance  available  to  qualified  medical  students. 

An  application  for  financial  aid  must  be  submitted  annually  to  be  con- 
sidered for  assistance  during  the  following  academic  year.  Priority  filing  date  is 
February  1 5.  Entering  students  may  request  financial  aid  applications  from  either 
the  Committee  on  Admissions  or  the  Student  Financial  Aid  Office.  Students 
currently  enrolled  in  the  School  of  Medicine  may  obtain  forms  from: 
Student  Financial  Aid  Office 
University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore 
621  West  Lombard  Street 
Baltimore,  Maryland    21201 

Student  assistance  is  awarded  on  the  basis  o(  demonstrated  financial 
need.  Eligibility  for  financial  aid  is  dependent  upon  the  student  maintaining 
good  academic  standing  and  full-time  attendance.  When  determining  the 
amount  to  be  awarded,  the  financial  aid  committee  considers  the  following:  ( 1 ) 
income,  assets  and  resources  of  the  student  and  student's  family;  (2)  support 
available  to  the  student  from  nonuniversity  sources  and  (3)  the  costs  reasonably 
necessary  for  full-time  attendance  at  the  school. 

Renewal  of  financial  aid  for  succeeding  years  depends  on  annual  sub- 
mission and  review  o(  a  financial  aid  application,  good  academic  standing,  the 
student's  continued  financial  need,  and  the  availability  of  funds.  A  complete 
description  of  the  procedures  used  to  evaluate  applications  tor  aid,  the  student 
budgets  used  and  various  university,  state  and  federal  programs,  can  be  found  in 
the  brochure  "Financial  Aid  at  UMAB."

dent students. 


FINANCIAI    INFORMATION      • 


Desegregation  Grants.  Minority  students  who  are  Maryland  residents  are  eligible 
for  these  funds.  Desegregation  grants  are  normally  used  to  reduce  the  amount  of 
loan  included  in  the  financial  aid  award. 

Medical  Alumni  Association.  Interest-free  loans  are  available  to  students  on  the 
basis  of  financial  need. 

Work-Study .  The  College  Work-Study  Program  provides  jobs  for  students  who 
need  financial  aid  and  who  choose  to  earn  part  of  their  educational  expenses.  Jobs 
are  arranged  either  on-  or  off-campus  with  a  public  or  private  nonprofit  agency. 
Eligible  students  may  be  employed  for  as  many  as  20  hours  per  week.  To  be  eligi- 
ble for  College-Work  Study  a  student  must  apply  for  financial  aid  and  demon- 
strate financial  need. 

Private  and  Endowment  Funds.  From  bequests  and  private  donations,  the  School 
of  Medicine  has  established  private  and  endowment  accounts  to  provide  fellow- 
ships, scholarships  and  loans  for  students  on  the  basis  of  their  academic  achieve- 
ment and  financial  need.  The  amounts  of  these  fellowships,  scholarships  and 
loans  vary  and  are  awarded  on  an  annual  basis  in  accordance  with  school  policy. 
The  availability  of  support  from  each  of  the  funds  listed  below  is  dependent  upon 
the  income  generated.  Moreover,  since  many  of  the  funds  are  governed  by  spe- 
cific provisions  set  forth  by  the  donors,  awards  must  be  made  accordingly.

Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools  and  is  a  member  o(  the  Association  of  Ameri- 
can Universities.  The  School  of  Medicine  is  accredited  by  the  Liaison  Commit- 
tee on  Medical  Education,  the  accrediting  body  for  the  Association  of  American 
Medical  Colleges  and  the  American  Medical  Association. 

GENERAL  RULES 

The  university  authorities  reserve  the  right  to  make  changes,  whenever  appro- 
priate, in  the  curriculum,  the  requirements  for  advancement  and  graduation,  fees 
and  rules  and  regulations. 

Matriculants  are  required  to  accept  the  provisions  of  the  Judicial  Board 
and  agree  to  assume  its  obligations  prior  to  registration. 

Students  who  report  for  classes  later  than  one  week  after  the  scheduled 
time  will  be  permitted  to  begin  work  only  by  permission  of  the  dean.  Attendance 
at  all  scheduled  classes  is  expected. 

Notice  of  change  of  address  should  be  submitted  promptly  to  the  Dean's 
Office  and  to  the  Registrar's  Office. 

All  new  students,  whether  they  are  admitted  to  the  first-year  class  or 
with  advanced  standing,  are  expected  to  attend  an  orientation  for  new  students. 

GRADES  AND  PROMOTION 

The  final  grades  for  all  courses  in  all  four  years  should  be  recorded  as  follows: 

A     (Excellent) 

B     (Very  Good) 

C     (Satisfactory) 

D     (Unsatisfactory) 

F      (Failing) 

Incomplete — This  designation  is  used  only  when  mitigating  circumstances 
(e.g.,  illness,  unavoidable  absence)  have  prevented  the  student 
from  completing  the  course  on  time.  It  is  to  be  viewed  as  a  non- 
prejudicial entry  on  the  student's  record;  the  grade  "Inc" 
remains  on  the  official  student  transcript. 

An  award  of  "Honors"  is  given  to  a  student  who  receives  a  final  grade  of 
"A"  and  performs  an  additional  scholarly  effort  that  is  clearly  outstanding. 


26     •     SCHOOL  OF   MEDICINE 


In  addition  to  the  final  objective  grade  and  the  "Honors"  category,  the 
student's  overall  performance  is  evaluated  subjectively.  Appropriate  evaluation 
forms  are  designated  for  this  purpose. 

Established  rules  for  advancement  and  dismissal  during  all  four  years 
have  been  approved  by  the  faculty  and  student  body  representatives  o(  the 
School  of  Medicine  Council.  All  regulations  related  to  grading,  advancement 
and  dismissal  are  included  in  the  Academic  Handbook  given  to  all  entering  stu- 
dents at  orientation. 

The  faculty  reserves  the  right  to  determine  whether  a  student  may  with- 
draw, repeat,  advance  or  graduate  on  academic  or  moral  and  personal  grounds, 
including  traits  of  character. 

EQUAL  OPPORTUNITY 

The  University  of  Maryland  is  an  equal  opportunity  institution  with  respect  to 
both  education  and  employment.  The  university's  policies,  programs  and  activ- 
ities are  in  conformance  with  pertinent  federal  and  state  laws  and  regulations  on 
nondiscrimination  regarding  race,  color,  religion,  age,  national  origin,  sex  and 
handicap.

sicians, and  must  demonstrate  character  traits  consistent  with  competent 
performance  as  a  physician.  The  school  reserves  the  right  to  dismiss  or  fail  to 
graduate  any  student  whose  actions  or  overall  academic  performance,  including 
clinical  performance,  do  not  demonstrate  good  moral  character  and  ability  to 
function  effectively  as  a  physician.  Such  action  may  be  taken  notwithstanding  a

SALARY  AND  EMPLOYMENT  INFORMATION 

A  high  percentage  of  graduates  enter  the  practice  of  medicine  after  completion 
of  residency  training.  There  appears  to  be  a  moderate  excess  of  physicians  in  some 
disciplines  of  medicine  and  in  some  geographic  areas.  However,  the  overall  need 
for  persons  holding  the  MD  degree  is  such  that  all  graduates  of  the  School  of  Med- 
icine may  expect  a  satisfactory  income.

achieve  a  high  level  of  professional  competence  and  social  awareness. 

H  To  provide  opportunities  for  students  at  every  level  of  training  to  pursue  areas 
of  special  interest  for  intellectual  stimulation  and/or  career  advancement. 

H  To  encourage  the  formation  oi  highly  competent  specialists,  primary  care 
physicians,  or  scholars  in  basic  or  clinical  research  or  administration. 


SCHOOL   OF   M  Km  CINE 


In  order  to  meet  changing  needs  of  graduate  medical  education  and  the 
practice  of  medicine,  the  curriculum  may  vary  from  year  to  year.  A  standing  Cur- 
riculum Coordinating  Committee,  composed  of  department  chairpersons,  spe- 
cial course  chairpersons,  faculty  members-at-large,  and  representatives  oi  the 
student  body,  has  the  responsibility  oi  regularly  monitoring  and  reviewing  the 
curriculum  and  recommending  changes  whenever  they  are  deemed  appropriate. 

First  and  Second  Years.  There  are  two  four-month  core  sessions  in  each 
of  the  first  two  years.  In  January  o{  the  freshman  year  and  June  of  both  years 
(known  as  minimesters),  students  take  a  required  minimum  of  eight  elective 
freshman/sophomore  credits  before  advancing  to  the  third  year.  These  electives 
may  be  taken  during  any  one  of  the  four  minimesters  at  the  student's  and  advi- 
sor's discretion  and  as  approved  by  the  Electives  Committee. 

During  the  freshman  year,  the  following  core  courses  are  taught: 
Anatomy  (including  gross  anatomy,  histology  and  embryology),  Biochemistry, 
Behavioral  and  Social  Science,  Physiology  and  Biophysics  (combined),  Neuro- 
sciences  (interdisciplinary),  Genetics,  and  Biostatistics.  In  addition,  during  the 
freshman  year  interdisciplinary  course,  Introduction  to  Clinical  Practice,  stu- 
dents are  exposed  to  interviewing  techniques.  Intimate  Human  Behavior,  an 
interprofessional  course  under  the  aegis  o(  the  Office  o{  Medical  Education,  is 
required  of  freshman  medical  students. 

During  the  sophomore  year,  students  enroll  in  the  following  core 
courses:  Microbiology,  Pathology,  Pharmacology  and  Experimental  Therapeu- 
tics, Physical  Diagnosis,  Psychopathology,  and  Epidemiology  and  Preventive 
Medicine.  Introduction  to  Clinical  Practice  continues  in  the  sophomore  year 
and  includes  specialty  physical  diagnosis  and  medical  ethics.  There  is  continued 
emphasis  on  clinical  correlation  throughout  the  two  years  with  combined 
instruction  by  basic  and  clinical  science  faculty.  This  correlative  teaching  pro- 
vides the  medical  student  with  the  full  spectrum  of  the  basic  science  foundation 
and  the  clinical  science  presentation  of  disease  states.  Attendance  in  all  small 
groups  including  laboratories  and  discussion  groups,  is  mandatory  in  both  the 
freshman  and  sophomore  years. 

Time  for  independent  study  has  been  added  to  the  first  and  second  years. 

Third  and  Fourth  Years.  The  clinical  years  curriculum  was  recently 
revised.  The  two  clinical  years  are  viewed  as  a  single  unit  with  the  student  assum- 
ing progressive  responsibility  for  patient  care.  The  junior  clinical  experience 
consists  of  two  12-week  rotations,  one  in  Internal  Medicine  and  one  in  Surgery; 
three  six-week  rotations  in  Pediatrics,  Psychiatry,  and  Obstetrics  and  Gynecol- 
ogy; and  two  four-week  rotations  in  Radiology/Ophthalmology  and  Neurol- 
ogy/Rehabilitation Medicine.  These  two  tour-week  rotations  alternate  between 
junior  and  senior  years,  depending  on  a  student's  predetermined  schedule.  As 
noted,  students  take  all  of  these  rotations  according  to  individual  schedules.  The 
sum  of  these  experiences  provides  a  46-week  introduction  to  clinical  science. 

The  J6-week  block  that  follows  includes  a  1 6- week  elective  period  dur- 
ing which  the  student  may  take  eight  weeks  oi  electives  off-campus.  An  addi- 
tional eight  weeks  must  be  spent  in  a  student  internship  in  one  ot  tour  clinical 

PROGRAMS  OF  STUDY     •     M 


fields:  medicine,  surgery,  pediatrics  or  family  practice.  Here  the  student  has  an 
opportunity  for  primary  patient  care  responsibility  over  a  prolonged  period  of 
time.  These  rotations  are  offered  at  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System 
and  in  approved  affiliated  hospitals.  The  third  segment  is  a  consecutive  eight- 
week  experience  in  an  ambulatory  setting.  These  outpatient  settings  include 
internal  medicine,  pediatrics  and  family  practice,  with  additional  experience  in 
epidemiology  and  preventive  medicine.  Attendance  in  all  course  work  in  clini- 
cal areas  is  mandatory.  The  current  clinical  curriculum  frequently  involves  week- 
end attendance.  In  any  additional  free  time,  the  student  may  audit  available 
electives. 

The  82-week  combined  clinical  years  program  provides  a  strong 
grounding  in  clinical  science  with  a  progressive  opportunity  for  primary  patient 
care  responsibility.  The  curriculum  is  designed  to  prepare  the  medical  student  for 
the  increasing  responsibility  demanded  by  the  specialty  residency  programs 
adopted  throughout  the  country.

COMBINED  MD/PHD  PROGRAMS 

Research  in  human  disease  requires  investigators  with  interests  and  training  in 
both  basic  science  and  clinical  medicine.  The  primary  objective  of  the  MD/PhD 
Program  is  to  train  medical  scientists.  These  individuals  will  differ  from  most 
basic  scientists  by  having  the  clinical  background  necessary  for  the  management 
and  investigation  of  human  disease.  Equally,  the  MD/PhD  medical  scientist  will 
differ  from  most  physicians  by  having  extensive  laboratory  experience  and  the 
scientific  background  that  can  lead  to  the  application  of  a  basic  scientific 
approach  to  studies  of  clinical  problems.  To  achieve  this  goal,  a  flexible  program 
of  combined  medical  and  scientific  training  is  provided  to  highly  motivated  stu- 
dents of  superior  research  and  academic  potential.  This  program  utilizes  fully  the 
broad  range  of  basic  and  clinical  science  opportunities  that  are  available  at  the 
University  oi  Maryland  at  Baltimore. 

The  MD/PhD  Program  is  offered  through  the  Departments  of  Anatomy, 
Biochemistry,  Biophysics,  Epidemiology  and  Preventive  Medicine,  Microbiol- 
ogy and  Immunology,  Pathology,  Pharmacology  and  Experimental  Therapeutics, 
Physiology,  and  the  Division  of  Human  Genetics  as  well  as  the  Department  of 
Chemistry  and  Biochemistry  at  the  University  of  Maryland  Baltimore  County. 

The  degree  requirements  for  the  combined  MD/PhD  will  be  equivalent 
to  those  of  the  separate  degree  requirements  tor  the  Doctor  ot  Medicine  in  the 
School  ot  Medicine  and  the  Doctor  o\  Philosophy  in  the  University  ot  Maryland 
( iraduate  School,  Baltimore.  It  is  anticipated  th.it  the  MD/PhD  degree  can  be 
completed  within  six  to  seven  years. 

Although  the  schedule  o\  training  can  he  flexible,  entering  students 
typically  complete  the  two  preclinical  years  as  regular  medical  students  and 
receive  graduate  credit  tor  many  courses  taken  during  this  period.  The  students 
use  minimesters  and  summers  to  gain  research  experience  in  the  basic  science 
departments  ot  their  choice.  Students  are  expected  to  "rotate"  through  the  vari- 


PROGRAMS  Ol    STUDY     • 


ous  laboratories  in  the  selected  graduate  department  in  order  to  facilitate  the 
final  choice  of  a  thesis  advisor. 

After  the  preclinical  years,  MD/PhD  students  enroll  as  full-time  gradu- 
ate students  for  two-to-three  years,  taking  required  graduate  courses  and  semi- 
nars, conducting  research  and  focusing  on  dissertation  research.  Subsequently, 
they  begin  the  clinical  clerkships  using  elective  periods  during  the  clinical  years 
to  complete  PhD  research.  This  sequence  is  general;  a  student  may  complete  the 
program  in  a  different  sequence,  depending  on  the  schedule  developed  in  con- 
sultation with  the  student's  advisor. 

Applicants  to  the  MD/PhD  Program  are  required  to  meet  the  admis- 
sions requirements  of  the  School  of  Medicine  and  the  University  of  Maryland 
Graduate  School,  Baltimore.  Qualified  candidates  are  interviewed  and  selected 
by  the  MD/PhD  Program  Advisory  Committee.  Applications  will  be  considered 
from  qualified  juniors  or  seniors  at  any  accredited  university,  as  well  as  from  med- 
ical students  currently  enrolled  at  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore.  In 
addition,  applications  will  be  considered  from  students  currently  enrolled  in  a 
graduate  level  program  (i.e.,  MS,  PhD)  at  the  University  of  Maryland  School  of 
Medicine  or  other  accredited  universities.  An  application  form  is  included  in  the 
medical  school  admissions  packet. 

Some  applicants  from  each  entering  class  may  be  awarded  a  waiver  of 
tuition  (at  the  financial  level  of  Maryland  resident  tuition)  for  a  maximum  of  six 
years.  The  waiver  will  be  awarded  based  upon  academic  excellence.  A  stipend 
may  be  provided  by  the  research  sponsor  during  the  PhD  portion  of  the  program.

SHORT  TERM  RESEARCH  TRAINING  PROGRAM  (STRTP) 

In  an  effort  to  enhance  student  involvement  in  biomedical  investigation,  the 
school  encourages  students  to  participate  in  supervised  research  projects  through 
the  Short  Term  Research  Training  Program  (STRTP).  The  program  is  supported 
jointly  by  a  training  grant  from  the  National  Institutes  of  Health  and  the  Office 
of  the  Dean.  Both  the  faculty  and  administration  of  the  School  of  Medicine  are 
committed  to  the  training  of  physician-scientists.  By  encouraging  medical  stu- 
dent research,  the  STRTP  strives  to  enhance  the  connection  between  the  treat- 
ment of  patients  and  the  scientific  investigations  which  enable  patient  care  to 
advance.  The  physician-scientist  who  bridges  both  basic  and  clinical  sciences 
and  clinical  practice  is  therefore  in  an  ideal  position  to  translate  research  into 

34     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


clinical  application  and  patient  problems  into  laboratory  investigation.  Cur- 
rently, research  is  being  conducted  in  several  major  areas  of  interest  at  the  School 
of  Medicine  which  include,  but  are  not  limited  to  behavior,  cancer,  cardiovas- 
cular disease,  endocrinology,  environmental  health,  epidemiology,  infections, 
immunology,  neuroscience,  respiration,  toxicology  and  virology. 

Fellowships  are  awarded  on  a  competitive  basis  and  currently  provide 
$300  per  week  for  eight-to- 1 2  weeks  of  full-time  participation.  These  experiences 
are  available  to  incoming  students  during  the  summer  before  their  freshman  year, 
and  to  medical  students  generally  during  the  summers  after  their  freshman  year. 
On  occasion,  awards  are  made  to  students  during  the  summer  after  their  sopho- 
more year  or  to  seniors  during  the  year. 

STRTP  funds  are  not  available  to  students  with  master's  or  doctoral 
degrees,  to  those  who  are  involved  in  doctoral  dissertation  research  or  to  students 
with  alternative  sources  of  research  funding.  However,  the  program  may  supple- 
ment some  alternate  sources  up  to  the  level  of  STRTP  fellows.  Students  selected 
to  participate  in  the  program  are  registered  in  and  attend  a  summer  colloquium 
(4  basic  science  credits)  consisting  of  scientific  seminars  and  lectures  in  com- 
puterized bibliographic  search  techniques,  research  methodology  and  presenta- 
tion, and  ethics  o(  human  and  animal  experimentation.  These  students  also 
present  their  research  to  fellow  students  and  faculty  during  the  summer  and  on 
Medical  Student  Research  Day. 

The  STRTP  provides  limited  funded  opportunities  for  students  to  con- 
duct research  in  Rotterdam,  The  Netherlands,  through  the  University  of  Mary- 
land-Erasmus University  Schools  of  Medicine  Exchange  Program.  In  addition,  a 
year-out  program  is  funded  by  a  grant  from  the  American  Heart  Association  to 
the  STRTP  for  those  students  who  wish  to  immerse  themselves  in  a  research 
experience  for  a  full  year,  normally  between  the  sophomore  and  junior  years. 

The  Short  Term  Research  Training  Program  also  offers  summer 
research  fellowships  to  undergraduate  minority  students,  the  purpose  being  to 
encourage  underrepresented  minority  students  to  consider  the  possibility. of  a 
career  in  one  of  the  health  professions  and/or  biomedical  research.  The  program 
provides  students  with  a  realistic  understanding  of  the  biomedical  research  envi- 
ronment through  hands-on  experience,  contact  with  appropriate  role  models, 
and  application  procedures  for  professional  and  graduate  schools.  Twenty  tour 
(24)  positions  are  available  for  minority  undergraduate  students  to  conduct 
research  for  10-12  weeks  during  the  summer  months  at  the  University  of  Mary- 
land at  Baltimore  campus  and  at  the  University  of  Maryland  Baltimore  County. 
Trainees  will  work  under  the  direct  supervision  of  experienced  scientists  and  will 
receive  $250  per  week  for  the  10-12  weeks  period.  Applications  are  due  in  the 
Office  of  Student  Affairs  by  the  last  day  of  February. 

Applicants  for  the  undergraduate  minority  program  musl  be  enrolled  in 
an  undergraduate  school  and  be  in  good  standing  at  the  time  of  application. 
Although  minority  students  from  any  State  may  apply,  preference  will  be  given 
to  Maryland  residents  attending  a  school  within  the  state  or  elsewhere.  Poten- 
tial trainees  must  not  have  graduated  at  the  tune  the  traineeship  begins  .\nA

PROGRAM  OF  CONTINUING  MEDICAL  EDUCATION 

The  School  of  Medicine,  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore,  is  concerned  with 
three  phases  in  the  education  of  physicians:  undergraduate,  graduate  and  post- 
graduate or  continuing  medical  education.  To  fulfill  its  role  in  the  last  of  these,  the 
School  of  Medicine  maintains  a  program  of  continuing  medical  education  (CME) 
that  offers  substantive  and  accessible  training  to  the  state's  physicians.  The  CME 
Program  is  administered  by  the  assistant  dean  for  continuing  medical  education 
and  a  full-time  staff,  with  the  assistance  of  a  faculty  advisory  committee. 

The  programs  offered  are  approved  by  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion for  credit  in  Category  1  (towards  its  Physician's  Recognition  Award)  and  by 
the  Accreditation  Council  for  Continuing  Medical  Education.  To  the  greatest 
extent  possible,  programs  are  structured  around  the  educational  needs  o{  prac- 
ticing physicians.  Both  the  type  and  content  of  the  instructional  programs,  as 
well  as  their  instructional  design,  are  varied  in  order  to  satisfy  the  learning  needs 
of  as  many  physicians  as  possible.  Courses  and  other  educational  activities  spon- 
sored by  this  program  also  can  be  used  by  physicians  to  meet  the  Maryland 
requirements  for  relicensure.

THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  MARYLAND  MEDICAL  SYSTEM 

The  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  is  a  private,  nonprofit  institution 
comprised  of  the  University  of  Maryland  Hospital,  the  University  of  Maryland 
Cancer  Center,  the  R  Adams  C  bwley  Shock  Trauma  Center  and  the  Institute oi 
Psychiatry  and  Human  Behavior.  Established  in  July  1984,  it  was  previously  an 
agency  of  the  state  oi  Maryland.  The  medical  system  is  the  primary  clinical  set- 
ting for  the  School  of  Medicine.  It  is  dedicated  to  providing  exemplary  health 
care  for  the  people  of  Maryland,  to  preparing  students  and  physicians  in  training 

RESOURCES     •     W 


for  the  practice  of  medicine  and  the  allied  health  professions,  and  to  carrying  out 
research  to  improve  the  quality  of  health  care. 

Since  its  founding  in  1 823 ,  the  hospital  has  become  a  major  tertiary  care 
referral  center  that  offers  the  full  range  of  specialized  medical  and  surgical  ser- 
vices. In  recent  years,  as  the  number  of  health  care  facilities  in  urban  centers  has 
decreased,  the  medical  system  has  assumed  increasing  responsibility  for  its  sur- 
rounding community.  As  a  result,  more  than  100,000  city  residents  look  to  the 
University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  as  their  primary  source  of  health  care. 

The  747-bed  hospital  is  one  of  the  nation's  busiest.  In  one  year,  it 
records  approximately  23,000  inpatient  admissions,  150,000  outpatient  visits, 
nearly  ^0,000  emergency  room  visits  and  2,000  births.  Every  day,  nearly  5,000 
people  pass  through  the  hospital's  doors.  The  senior  medical  staff — more  than 
600  physicians — is  comprised  of  the  clinical  faculty  of  the  School  of  Medicine 
who  supervise  training  o{  the  more  than  400  graduate  physician  house  staff  as 
well  as  the  medical  students. 

Because  of  its  combined  professional  and  academic  environment,  many 
outstanding  treatment  programs  and  research  facilities  have  been  developed  at 
the  medical  system.  The  R  Adams  Cowley  Shock  Trauma  Center  of  the  Mary- 
land Institute  for  Emergency  Medical  Services  Systems  and  the  University  of 
Maryland  Cancer  Center  are  two  prime  examples. 

The  R  Adams  Cowley  Shock  Trauma  Center,  linked  with  the  statewide 
network  of  emergency  communications,  transportation  and  medical  care  facili- 
ties, is  second  to  none.  It  provides  high-speed  emergency  service  to  nearly  3,000 
critically  injured  persons  each  year — the  most  severe  multiple  trauma  cases  in 
the  state — with  an  impressive  92%  survival  rate.  A  heliport  on  the  roof  of  the 
$44  million  R  Adams  Cowley  Shock  Trauma  Center  facilitates  rapid  transport 
of  the  most  severely  injured  and  acutely  ill  from  around  the  state. 

In  the  Cancer  Center,  collaboration  between  research  scientists  and 
research  clinicians  has  resulted  in  notable  efforts  in  treating  breast,  lung  and  blood- 
related  cancers.  It  was  at  the  Cancer  Center  that  researchers  pioneered  the  freez- 
ing o(  a  leukemia  patient's  own  platelets  for  later  use  during  relapses.  The  center's 
physicians  work  closely  with  other  oncology  programs  within  the  hospital,  tailor- 
ing the  balance  among  surgery,  radiation  and  anti-cancer  drugs  for  each  patient's 
optimal  treatment  plan.  A  bone  marrow  transplant  service  will  open  in  1992. 

The  hospital's  intensive  care  units  serve  seven  medical  specialties.  Its 
neonatal  intensive  care  nursery  serves  critically  ill  newborns  airlifted  from 
throughout  Maryland. 

An  organ  transplant  service  offers  the  latest  surgical  techniques  for 
patients  suffering  from  kidney,  heart  and  pancreatic  diseases  and  is  the  only  one 
in  Maryland  offering  pancreas/kidney  transplants  and  lung  transplants.  The  hos- 
pital recently  installed  new  cardiovascular  laboratories  that  support  the  state's 
comprehensive  cardiology  program  for  children  and  adults.  The  Stroke  Data 
Bank,  part  of  the  medical  system's  Stroke  Center,  is  one  of  only  four  in  the  United 
States.  The  institution's  neurosurgery  division  has  attracted  national  attention 
for  its  innovative  techniques  in  the  treatment  of  brain  tumors.  A  Gammaknife 

40     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


Center,  due  to  open  in  1992,  will  allow  patients  with  inoperable  brain  tumors  a 
new  chance  for  survival.  The  high-risk  pregnancy,  multiple  sclerosis  and  mag- 
netic resonance  imaging  centers  offer  the  most  advanced  technology  possible. 

Coexistent  with  these  technologies  is  the  medical  system's  commit- 
ment to  providing  excellent  primary  care  as  well  as  specialized  medical  care.  This 
is  demonstrated  by  the  presence,  since  1984,  of  University  Health  Center,  an 
ambulatory  care  facility  that  incorporates  family  practice,  general  adult  medicine 
and  several  specialty  services.  It  is  located  one  block  from  the  medical  system 
building.  Ambulatory  care  also  is  provided  in  the  hospital  by  separate  emergency 
units  for  children  and  adults. 

The  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  has  grown  both  profes- 
sionally and  physically  during  the  years.  Today,  through  partnerships  with  the 
university's  professional  schools,  the  medical  system  is  the  training  site  for  phar- 
macists, social  workers,  dentists,  nurses  and  other  health  professionals  and  tech- 
nicians. This  interprofessional  environment  is  a  unique  and  valued  characteristic 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System. 

AFFILIATIONS 

Recognizing  the  importance  of  providing  excellent  clinical  experiences  with 
stimulating  faculty  and  mentors,  the  School  of  Medicine  has  developed  a  com- 
prehensive network  of  affiliations  designed  to  encompass  the  continuum  of  med- 
ical care  including  ambulatory,  acute  hospital,  home  care,  rehabilitation  and 
chronic  care.  In  all  programs  medical  students  are  trained  by  and  fully  supervised 
only  by  School  of  Medicine,  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  faculty. 

Over  the  past  five  years  a  significant  effort  to  coordinate,  expand  and 
improve  the  ambulatory  care  experience  has  resulted  in  an  extensive  ambulatory 
care  network  of  opportunities.  Clinical  experiences  are  offered  in  multi-discipli- 
nary teaching  clinics,  faculty  practices,  community  clinics,  private  practices  and 
hospital-based  ambulatory  care  programs.  Model  geriatric  clinical  education  pro- 
grams, designed  at  three  facilities  with  large  cohorts  of  elderly  patients,  serve  as 
stimulating  educational  experiences  where  computer-assisted  learning  augments 
the  faculty  preceptor  patient  experience. 

Academic  tertiary  care  experience  demonstrating  state  of  the  art  tech- 
nology and  ongoing  exciting  clinical  research  is  offered  at  the  three  major  affili- 
ates; namely,  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System,  the  Baltimore  VA 
Medical  Center  and  Mercy  Hospital.  Additionally,  five  community  hospitals 
with  major  commitments  to  the  importance  of  a  teaching  environment  serve  as 
outstanding  opportunities  for  primary  and  secondary  health  experiences.  These 
community  hospitals  attract  highly  competitive  interns  and  residents  who  wish 
to  train  in  a  community  hospital  atmosphere. 

A  successful  network  of  community,  state  and  federal  psychiatric  facilities 
has  resulted  in  a  widely  acclaimed  statewide  program  tor  psychiatry  training.  Spe- 
cial clinical  research  experience  in  psychiatry  is  additionally  ottered  at  the  Institute 
of  Psychiatry  and  Human  Behavior  tm<.\  .it  the  Pern,  Point  VA  Medic.il  C  'enter. 

RESOURCES     •    41 


Experience  in  rehabilitation,  home  care  and  chronic  medical  care  is 
offered  through  six  facilities,  each  offering  special  aspects  of  expertise  for  those 
who  wish  to  pursue  psychiatry,  neuro-rehabilitation  and  geriatrics. 

The  following  training  centers  have  formal  institutional  level  affilia- 
tions: University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  (includes  Shock  Trauma  and 
Cancer  Center),  Baltimore  Veterans  Affairs  Medical  Center,  Union  Memorial 
Hospital,  Mercy  Medical  Center,  Sinai  Hospital  of  Baltimore,  James  Lawrence 
Kernan  Hospital,  St.  Agnes  Hospital,  Maryland  General  Hospital,  Francis  Scott 
Key  Medical  Center,  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital,  Delray  Hospital,  Greater  Balti-

Hospital,  York  Hospital  (Pa.),  Walter  P.  Carter  Center,  Springfield  Hospital 
Center,  Spring  Grove  Hospital  Center,  Sheppard  and  Enoch  Pratt  Hospital,  Inc., 
Montebello  Rehabilitation  Center  and  Cumberland  AHEC. 

BALTIMORE  VETERANS  ADMINISTRATION  MEDICAL  CENTER 

In  November  1992  a  new  324-bed  VA  Medical  Center  will  open  adjacent  to  the 
medical  school  and  UMMS.  Designed  to  additionally  support  a  large  outpatient 
program  with  extensive  primary  care  as  well  as  subspecialty  experiences  and 
ambulatory  surgery,  the  new  VA  has  been  designed  as  a  flagship  facility.  The  first 
radiology  service  in  the  nation  to  offer  a  completely  filmless  program  has  been 
made  possible  by  new  advances  in  computer  archiving  and  digital  processing 
of  images.  Diagnostic  quality  radiographs  are  available  on  over  80  monitors 
throughout  the  medical  center,  providing  expanded  opportunities  for  student 
and  house  staff  education  and  improved  patient  care. 

A  fully  computerized  patient  information  system,  including  bedside 
terminals,  allows  for  ease  of  patient  care  and  reduced  nonproductive  time  for 
students,  as  well  as  instantaneous  clinical  queries  for  clinical  research  and  con- 
tinuous improvement  in  quality  of  patient  care.  Major  increases  in  support  staff 
assigned  to  house  staff  teams  has  resulted  in  decreased  "scut"  work  activities  of 
students  and  residents,  as  support  staff  is  more  frequently  available  for  routine 
phlebotomy,  intravenous  line  adjustments,  escort  services  and  clerical  support 
services.  A  major  reconfiguration  of  nursing  and  support  staff  has  been  combined 
with  computer  designed  programs  to  increase  the  efficiency  o(  the  medical  care 
process  so  that  students,  house  staff  and  faculty  can  better  spend  their  time  on 
direct  rather  than  indirect  patient  care  and  on  stimulating  educational  and  clin- 
ical research  areas  rather  than  on  cumbersome  support  delivery  problems. 

There  is  close  integration  of  the  faculty,  resident  and  undergraduate  lev- 
els with  the  School  of  Medicine  in  the  disciplines  of  medicine,  surgery,  psychia- 
try, neurology,  anesthesiology,  pathology,  radiology,  rehabilitation  medicine, 
geriatrics  and  ambulatory  care.  Special  programs  in  women's  health  care,  endo- 
scopic surgery,  low-vision  assistance,  stroke  therapy  and  a  tertiary  oncology  cen- 
ter are  planned  for  the  new  facility.  Forty-two  research  investigators  have  funded 


42     •     SCHOOL  OF   MEDICINE 


research  programs  in  areas  including  infectious  disease,  geriatrics  exercise  phys- 
iology, cardiology,  immunology,  neurology,  oncology  and  schizophrenia. 

AREA  HEALTH  EDUCATION  CENTER  PROGRAM 

One  of  the  University  o(  Maryland  at  Baltimore's  commitments  to  improving 
health  care  and  delivery  programs  in  primary  care  is  the  Area  Health  Education 
Center  (AHEC)  program. 

The  AHEC  program  has  been  developed  to  provide  a  comprehensive 
health  care  education  program  for  undergraduate  and  graduate  medical  students, 
as  well  as  for  students  from  the  other  UMAB  professional  schools.  AHECs  are 
"multiple  health  education  and  training  centers  that  attract  students,  interns  and 
residents  to  the  several  geographic  areas,  thereby  attracting  increased  numbers 
of  practicing  physicians,  encouraging  development  of  health  care  facilities,  pro- 
viding for  the  training  of  additional  numbers  o(  allied  health  care  professionals 
and  increasing  capabilities  for  the  existing  program  of  graduate  and  continuing 
medical  education  and  health  training." 

The  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  AHEC  is  located  in  Cumber- 
land, a  rural  community  in  Western  Maryland.  This  center  affords  students  the 
opportunity  to  understand  and  experience  the  valuable  and  rewarding  benefits 
of  delivering  primary  health  care  in  a  rural  environment. 

It  is  a  matter  of  school  policy  that  students  are  required  to  spend  eight 
weeks  of  their  senior  year  in  clinical  education  at  an  ambulatory  site.  Some  stu- 
dents elect  to  spend  this  mandatory  rotation  at  this  site.  In  addition,  senior  med- 
ical students  may  choose  a  rotation  here  as  an  elective  in  primary  care.  It  is  hoped 
that  these  experiences  will  encourage  students  to  consider  practice  in  similar  set- 
tings and  that  students  will  gain  a  firm  appreciation  o(  the  special  health  needs 
of  rural  populations.

tion from  undergraduate  education  to  medical  school.  This  six-week  program 
includes  one  week  of  learning  skills  workshops  and  class  orientation,  four  weeks 
of  classes  simulating  the  first  semester  schedule  and  final  exam  week.  Classes  are 
taught  by  seven  medical  students  who  participate  in  an  intensive  one-week 
teacher  training  program  and  receive  elective  credit.  Faculty  mentors  advise 
tutor/teachers  regarding  course  content  and  resources.  Enrollment  is  voluntary; 
full  participation  of  enrolled  students  is  mandatory.  Up  to  20  entering  freshman 
may  participate. 

Prematriculation  Workshop:  The  purpose  is  to  provide  an  academic  orienta- 
tion to  the  medical  curriculum  for  all  entering  freshman  students.  This  program 

44     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


is  a  one-day  learning  skills  workshop  presented  prior  to  orientation  and  registra- 
tion. Attendance  is  voluntary. 

Academic  Monitoring:  The  purpose  of  this  activity  is  to  identify  and  contact 
first-  and  second-year  medical  students  who  show  (a)  poor  academic  perfor- 
mance— to  improve  their  current  course  performance  through  appropriate  inter- 
vention; and  (b)  successful  performance — to  identify  potential  tutors.  Contact 
with  students  is  initiated  as  soon  as  possible  following  each  examination. 

Early  Assessment  Exam:  The  purpose  of  this  exam  is  to  initiate  academic  mon- 
itoring to  the  freshman  class  as  early  as  possible  in  the  freshman  fall  semester, 
prior  to  most  course  exams.  Two  and  one-half  weeks  after  classes  begin,  short 
exams  in  biochemistry,  gross  anatomy,  and  histology  are  administered  during  a 
half-day  session;  results  are  distributed  to  students  immediately.  Attendance  is 
mandatory  but  results  are  not  used  in  grading. 

Academic  Counseling:  The  purpose  is  to  identify  problems  contributing  to  poor 
academic  performance,  and  to  recommend  appropriate  resources  for  corrective 
or  supportive  action  to  improve  academic  performance.  Direct  support  regarding 
learning  skills,  time-management  and  exam-taking;  and  referral  to  other  appro-

HEALTH  SCIENCES  LIBRARY 

The  Health  Sciences  Library  is  the  first  library  established  by  a  medical  school 
in  the  United  States  and  a  recognized  leader  in  state-of-the-art  information  tech- 
nology. It  is  the  Regional  Medical  Library  for  10  states,  the  District  of  Columbia, 
Puerto  Rico  and  the  Virgin  Islands  as  part  of  the  biomedical  information  network 
of  the  National  Library  of  Medicine. 

The  library  contains  more  than  290,000  volumes  including  3,100  cur- 
rent journal  titles,  and  is  ranked  in  size  among  the  top  1 5  health  sciences  libraries 
in  the  country.  The  library's  online  catalog  allows  users  to  look  for  materials  by 
title,  author,  subject,  key  word,  call  number,  series,  meeting  name  and  organiza- 
tion name.  The  online  catalog  can  be  accessed  from  any  computer  terminal  on 
the  UMAB  campus  that  is  linked  to  the  campus  network  or  from  any  dial  access 
terminal.

MEDICAL  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

The  Medical  Alumni  Association  has,  since  1895,  served  all  graduates,  students, 
faculty,  staff  and  physicians  affiliated  with  the  School  of  Medicine. 

Located  in  Davidge  Hall,  522  West  Lombard  Street,  the  Medical 
Alumni  Association  office  is  open  weekdays.  Among  its  many  activities,  the 
association  coordinates  the  Alumni  Reunion  in  early  May,  and  publishes  the 
quarterly  Bulletin.  The  Medical  Alumni  Association  sponsors  an  annual  social 
event  for  each  medical  school  class. 

Since  the  association  inaugurated  the  Annual  Giving  Drive  in  1978, 
donations  totaling  more  than  $4  million  have  been  raised,  thanks  to  the  hun- 
dreds of  alumni  phonathon  volunteers  who  have  annually  called  on  their  class* 
mates  for  donations.  One  million  dollars  from  alumni  supported  the  restorat  ion 
of  Davidge  Hall  in  1982.  Lectures,  research  and  student  loans  funded  by  alumni 
contributions  provide  a  me. ins  to  enrich  and  implement  the  programs  and  goals 
ot  the  School  ot  Medicine  on  a  daily  basis.

Student  Life 


OFFICE  OF  STUDENT  AFFAIRS 

The  Office  of  Student  Affairs  is  designed  to  provide  guidance,  advice,  help  and 
administrative  services  to  students  enrolled  in  medicine.  In  addition,  the  office 
is  responsible  for  monitoring  student  registration,  progress  and  advancement, 
graduation  and  all  aspects  of  student  life  related  to  undergraduate  medical  edu- 
cation. To  this  end,  the  office  employs  one  full-time  associate  dean  and  one  full- 
time  assistant  dean,  two  part-time  assistant  deans,  a  coordinator  and  clerical  staff. 

While  the  entire  staff  is  available  to  offer  assistance  to  all  students,  some 
staff  members  also  assume  a  specialty  area  within  their  overall  functions.  These 
specialty  areas  include  minority  affairs,  senior  elective  advising,  student  fellow- 
ships, national  residency  programs  advising,  counseling  and  administration  of 
the  Vertical  Advisory  System. 

Office  of  Minority  Affairs.  The  School  of  Medicine  is  firmly  commit- 
ted to  significantly  increasing  the  number  of  underrepresented  minority  students 
and  faculty.  Accordingly,  the  school  has  a  strong  outreach  recruitment  and 
retention  program  to  attract  and  graduate  minority  students  who  are  African 
Americans,  native  Americans,  mainland  Puerto  Ricans  and  Mexican  Ameri- 
cans. The  school  is  actively  involved  in  the  Association  of  American  Medical 
Colleges'  Project  3,000  by  2000,  which  is  designed  to  increase  the  number  of 
underrepresented  minority  medical  students  in  all  U.S.  medical  schools  to  3,000 
by  the  year  2000.  Recruitment  and  academic  enrichment  activities  are  provided 
for  students  at  the  high  school,  undergraduate  and  medical  school  levels. 

The  Office  of  Minority  Affairs  works  cooperatively  with  the  Office  of 
Admissions,  the  Office  of  Academic  Development,  the  Office  of  Financial  Aid 
and  entities  in  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  System  (University  Hospi- 
tal) to  carry  out  this  mission.  Activities  include  information  dissemination  to 
all  segments  of  the  public,  paid  summer  research  preceptorships  and  volunteer 
opportunities  at  the  School  of  Medicine  and  University  of  Maryland  Medical 
System.  In  addition,  the  office  also  assists  in  the  school's  minority  faculty  devel- 
opment program  and  community  outreach  efforts  that  will  offer  exposure  to 
health  related  and  research  oriented  career  opportunities. 

The  Office  of  Minority  Affairs  also  assists  in  the  school's  minority  fac- 
ulty development  program  and  in  community  outreach  efforts.  For  additional

Elective  Program.  The  Office  of  Student  Affairs  compiles  course  offerings, 
schedules  courses  and  changes  of  electives,  and  provides  for  both  evaluation  of  a  stu- 
dent's performance  during  electives  and  evaluation  of  the  elective  courses  taken. 

Residency  Planning.  The  office  maintains  a  residency  advisement 
program  that  includes  counseling,  referral  to  faculty,  alumni  and  community 
resources  and  workshops  on  residency  selection  provided  during  the  junior  year. 
Recent  graduates  are  surveyed  annually  so  that  feedback  from  a  number  of  resi- 
dency programs  of  interest  to  our  graduates  is  kept  as  current  as  possible. 

Vertical  Advisory  System.  At  the  beginning  of  the  freshman  year  stu- 
dents are  assigned  two  faculty  advisors.  Generally,  one  of  the  advisors  is  in  the 
basic  sciences  and  at  least  one  is  a  physician.  Each  pair  of  advisors  is  usually 
assigned  three  or  four  incoming  students  per  year  with  the  intention  that  the  rela- 
tionship will  continue  through  the  four  years  of  medical  school.  The  advisory 
system  provides  a  helpful,  ongoing  interchange  concerning  academic,  social,  per- 
sonal and  career  problems  and  opportunities. 

Human  Dimensions  in  Medical  Education  (HDME)  Program.  The 
HDME  Program  provides  opportunities  for  informal  activities  among  students 
and  faculty  outside  the  classroom  setting.  These  range  from  social  gatherings  to 
small  group  discussions  of  concerns  and  feelings  related  to  the  personal  and  pro- 
fessional aspects  of  medical  education  and  practice. 

Students  may  elect  to  participate  in  the  HDME  Program  at  any  point  in 
their  medical  school  career.  Many  enter  the  program  by  attending  the  prefresh- 
man  orientation  retreat  held  in  late  August.  The  retreat  is  attended  by  students 
from  all  levels  of  training,  faculty  members  and  in  many  cases  spouses  or  close 
friends.  Participants  thus  are  provided  an  opportunity  to  get  acquainted  in  an 
informal  and  intimate  off-campus  setting.  Much  of  the  time  at  the  retreat  is  spent 
in  intensive  small  group  sessions.  Topics  of  discussion  are  determined  in  each 
group,  but  typically  include  adjustment  to  medical  school,  the  impact  of  a  med- 
ical career  on  domestic  life,  and  the  problem  of  setting  priorities  among  various 
professional  and  personal  demands.  Recreational  activities  also  are  included  in 
the  four-day  experience. 

Students  in  the  HDME  Program  also  participate  in  the  Vertical  Advi- 
sory System  (see  Office  of  Student  Affairs),  but  normally  are  assigned  faculty 
advisors  within  the  HDME  program. 

HDME  was  conceived  at  The  Center  for  the  Study  of  the  Person  in  La 
Jolla,  California.  The  program  is  planned  and  operated  Locally  by  student-faculty 
committees.  One  goal  of  the  program  is  to  provide  an  environment  in  which  stu- 
dents and  faculty  advisors  can  develop  a  bond  during  the  tour  years  of  medical 
school.  Another  desired  outcome  is  the  development  of  effective  communica- 
tion and  listening  skills  that  will  enable  medical  students,  house  officers  and  fac- 
ulty members  to  become  better  health  care  providers. 

Parents'  Day.  Usually  in  mid-tall,  freshman  students  are  asked  to  notify 
the  Office  of  Student  Affairs  of  two  or  three  people  they  would  like  to  have 
invited  to  Parents'  Day — generally,  parents  or  partners.  Following  .1  continental 
breaktast,  those  attending  hear  presentations  from  the  dem,  the  associate  deans 

STUDENT  LIFE     •     -W 


for  student  affairs  and  medical  education,  and  senior  faculty  members  represent- 
ing some  of  the  major  medical  specialties.  Upperclass  students  give  their  versions 
of  life  in  the  preclinical  and  clinical  years,  and  a  student-spouse  discusses  med- 
ical school  from  the  viewpoint  of  a  "significant  other."  There  is  time  for  informal 
discussion  with  the  presenters  and  other  members  of  the  faculty,  and  the  morn- 
ing ends  with  a  tour  of  Davidge  Hall.  Family  members  often  travel  substantial  dis- 
tances for  this  event  and  it  provides  an  opportune  time  to  show  them  around 
campus  and  the  Baltimore  area  during  the  afternoon. 

STUDENT  GOVERNMENT 

The  Student  Council  is  the  official  representative  body  for  medical  students.  The 
council  consists  of  its  president,  vice  president,  secretary  and  treasurer  and  two 
representatives  from  each  class  and  the  class  presidents.  The  group  performs  sev- 
eral tasks  that  are  important  to  the  proper  functioning  of  the  many  student  orga- 
nizations. Social  events  for  the  entire  medical  school,  including  student-faculty 
wine  and  cheese  parties,  are  funded  and  organized  by  the  council.  Election  of 
class  officers  is  handled  by  the  Student  Council  as  well.  The  council  serves  as  a 
liaison  between  the  administration  and  the  student  body  should  the  need  for  such 
a  liaison  arise. 

An  important  role  of  the  Student  Council  is  the  budgeting  o(  student 
activities  fees  funds.  The  council  votes  on  the  distribution  of  funds  to  the  vari- 
ous student  organizations  based  on  such  factors  as  proposed  costs  of  planned 
activities,  benefit  to  the  medical  school  community  and  the  number  of  students 
involved  in  the  organization. 

STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS 

Alpha  Omega  Alpha  ( AOA).  Alpha  Omega  Alpha,  the  national  medical  honor 
society,  has  a  chapter  at  Maryland  comprised  of  students  who  are  elected  to  mem- 
bership at  the  end  of  their  junior  year  or  beginning  o(  their  senior  year.  Election 
to  AOA  is  based  on  scholastic  achievement,  service  to  the  school,  qualities  of 
leadership,  integrity  and  fairness  to  colleagues.  Members  coordinate  programs 
and  lectures  with  the  goal  of  furthering  academic  interest  and  curiosity.  Programs 
of  recent  years  have  included  a  lunchtime  lecture  series  on  topics  in  the  history 
of  medicine,  an  EKG  interpretation  course  offered  at  the  VA  Medical  Center  and 
sponsorship  of  a  clinical  visiting  professorship. 

American  Medical  Student  Association.  The  University  of  Maryland  Chapter 
of  the  American  Medical  Student  Association  (AMSA)  offers  the  opportunity 
to  become  actively  involved  with  a  group  of  dynamic,  concerned  medical  stu- 
dents on  the  local  and  national  levels.  AMSA  is  involved  in  many  service  activ- 
ities; microscope  and  used  book  sales,  coordination  of  the  noontime  films  and 
lectures  as  well  as  the  student  telephone  and  housing  directories,  orientation 
activities,  workshops,  projects  and  parties.  Fundraising  projects  help  to  defray 

50    •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


expenses  of  members  attending  workshops  and  regional  and  national  meetings.. 
On  the  national  level,  AMSA  promotes  the  interest  of  public  health  and  the 
medical  students  serve  as  a  forum  and  information  clearing-house  for  issues  of 
major  importance.  Benefits  to  AMSA  members  include  a  four-year  subscription 
to  The  New  Physician,  special  interest  task  force  newsletters,  informational  book- 
lets, discounts  on  medical  texts,  life  insurance  policies,  the  AMSA  Mastercard, 
the  "HEAL  Deal"  for  repayment  of  HEAL  loans  at  lower  interest  rates,  a  new  low- 
interest  loan  program  with  increasing  monies  available  each  successive  year  of 
school  and  unique  educational  experiences  both  at  home  and  abroad. 

American  Medical  Women's  Association  (AMWA)  Student  Branch.  The 

AMWA  Student  Branch  at  the  University  of  Maryland  is  a  dynamic  group 
responsive  to  the  needs  o(  the  female  medical  student.  While  its  first  commit- 
ment remains  to  provide  support  and  promote  friendship  among  students,  faculty 
and  physicians,  AMWA  also  provides  a  network  where  students  can  meet  and 
discuss  issues  such  as  lifestyles  in  medicine,  career  choices,  women's  health  and 
political  issues  important  to  women  and  the  student  body  at-large.  Local  activi- 
ties include  potluck  dinners  where  special  guest  speakers  address  issues,  monthly 
noon-time  business  meetings  and  get-acquainted  gatherings  with  students  and 
faculty. 

Asian  Professional  Students  Association.  The  Asian  Professional  Students 
Association  (APSA)  was  formed  by  a  group  of  medical  students  in  1984,  and 
since  then  the  association  has  grown  to  include  members  o{  other  schools  at 
UMAB.  The  APSA  is  open  to  all  students,  teaching  staff  and  employees,  regard- 
less of  race,  cultural  background,  sex  or  country  of  origin.  The  goals  of  the  asso- 
ciation are  to  encourage  dialogue  among  fellow  students  o(  different  cultural 
backgrounds  and  to  provide  a  platform  for  those  who  appreciate  Asian  culture. 
APSA  also  sponsors  education  and  social  activities  for  its  members  and  friends. 

Big  Sib  Program.  Each  year  an  upperclassman  (usually  a  sophomore)  "adopts" 
an  entering  freshman  as  his/her  little  sib.  Newly  admitted  students  receive  cor- 
respondence from  their  fellow  big  brothers/sisters  during  the  spring  semester 
prior  to  their  entry.  The  program  is  sponsored  by  students  with  support  of  the 
Admissions  Committee,  and  is  designed  to  allow  entering  students  to  address 
their  questions  and  concerns  to  fellow  students  who  have  already  experienced 
"life  of  the  medical  student." 

Christian  Medical  Society.  The  Christian  Medical  Society  (CMS)  is  a  local 
chapter  of  a  national  organization  that  exists  to  provide  support  and  encourage- 
ment to  Christian  medical  students  and  physicians  and  to  promote  Christian 
practices  and  ideals  within  the  medical  community.  The  group  meets  m  the 
evening  once  .1  week  for  fellowship,  prayer  and  discussion.  A  meal  is  shared  every 
other  week.  Discussion  topio  for  the  meetings  include  bible  study,  short-term 
missions,  ethics,  C  christian  family  lite  within  the  medical  profession  and  evange- 

STUDENT  LIFI      • 


lism.  In  addition,  the  CMS  provides  volunteers  to  help  staff  the  Baltimore  Res- 
cue Mission,  which  gives  medical  aid  to  the  homeless. 

Family  Practice  Club.  The  Family  Practice  Club  is  sponsored  by  the  Maryland 
Academy  of  Family  Physicians  and  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine.  Mem- 
bership fees  are  paid  by  the  Maryland  Academy  and  members  receive  monthly 
professional  journals  free  of  charge.  Four  official  meetings  are  held  each  year  dur- 
ing which  students  have  the  opportunity  to  meet  informally  with  practicing  fam- 
ily physicians.  These  meetings  are  usually  informal  panel  discussions  focusing  on 
subjects  relevant  to  family  practice  which  are  not  covered  in  the  academic  cur- 
riculum. The  club  also  encourages  student  leadership  at  state  and  national  levels. 

Gertrude  Stein  Medical  Society.  The  Gertrude  Stein  Medical  Society  is  a  group 
of  medical  students  whose  goal  is  to  foster  support  among  gay  and  lesbian  students 
and  to  encourage  interaction  and  education  among  all  students  at  the  university. 
The  group  seeks  to  help  other  students  and  faculty  understand  the  special  needs 
of  the  gay  and  lesbian  community  through  education  and  community  service.  The 
group  meets  bimonthly  with  potluck  dinners  and  other  social  events. 

Human  Dimensions  in  Medical  Education  (HDME).  The  Human  Dimensions 
in  Medical  Education  (HDME)  Program  sponsors  a  four-day,  preorientation 
retreat  in  Western  Maryland  each  August  for  incoming  freshmen  that  is  run 
jointly  by  upperclass  students  and  faculty  members.  The  retreat  enables  incoming 
students  to  get  to  know  each  other  and  their  advisors  in  an  informal  setting — prior 
to  the  student  orientation  "downtown."  Each  student  is  assigned  to  a  small  group 
of  entering  freshmen  and  upperclass  students  led  by  one  or  both  of  the  faculty 
members  who  will  serve  as  the  student's  advisors  for  the  duration  of  medical 
school.  Emphasis  is  placed  on  meeting  others  as  people,  apart  from  traditional 
"professor/medical  student"  roles.  Spouses  and  "significant  others"  of  students  and 
faculty  are  welcome.  They,  too,  are  assigned  to  small  groups.  In  addition  to  small 
group  meetings,  retreat  participants  spend  time  together  at  meals,  parties  and  at 
evening  events.  Unscheduled  afternoons  may  be  spent  enjoying  waterskiing, 
horseback  riding,  hiking,  golfing,  swimming  and  playing  in  the  nearby  waterfall. 

Jewish  Medical  Student  Organization.  The  Jewish  Medical  Student  Association 
encourages  all  medical  students,  regardless  of  specific  affiliation  (i.e.,  orthodox, 
conservative,  reform  or  non-Jewish)  to  join  and  participate  in  the  group's  activ- 
ities. The  association  works  closely  with  the  Jewish  Community  Center's  Office 
for  Graduate  Studies,  which  provides  sponsorship  for  many  of  its  activities, 
including  Friday  night  dinners,  talks  on  Jewish  medical  ethics  and  the  building 
of  a  sukkah.  The  association  also  works  with  other  schools  on  campus  and  in  the 
Baltimore  area  to  plan  joint  activities. 

Maryland  State  Medical  Student  Association.  The  Maryland  State  Medical 
Student  Association  (MSMSA)  is  a  component  of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical 

52     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


Society  (Med-Chi)  of  the  state  of  Maryland,  which  is  a  state  component  of  the 
American  Medical  Association.  MSMSA  is  involved  in  issues  of  health  care, 
medical  education  and  peer  review,  especially  in  the  state  of  Maryland.  MSMSA 
and  AMA  memberships  are  usually  solicited  together  and  membership  benefits 
include  subscriptions  to  the  Maryland  Medical  Journal  and  AMA  News.  MSMSA 
provides  active  student  representation  in  Med-Chi  and  the  AMA. 

Medicine  as  a  Second  Career.  The  goal  of  this  organization  is  to  foster  a  healthy 
and  successful  transition  from  the  working  world  to  medical  school.  Networking 
with  peers  provides  an  opportunity  to  learn  vicariously.  An  additional  goal  is  to 
foster  positive  student  and  faculty  relationships.  Medical  students  who  are  non- 
traditional  with  respect  to  their  personal  and  professional  background  are  excep- 
tional in  many  respects.  The  magnitude  of  the  sacrifices  and  hence  the 
motivations  are  immense  for  second-career  students.  People  who  come  to  med- 
ical school  after  an  interlude  building  a  career  and/or  raising  a  family  have  spe- 
cial concerns;  they  also  bring  great  personal  and  professional  assets  to  their 
potential  as  physicians. 

Organization  of  Student  Representatives.  The  Association  of  American  Med- 
ical Colleges  (AAMC)  was  founded  over  100  years  ago  to  improve  the  quality  of 
American  medical  education.  It  now  includes  membership  of  127  medical 
schools,  85  academic  societies  such  as  the  American  College  o(  Physicians  and 
435  teaching  hospitals.  It  maintains  numerous  data  sources  available  to  its  mem- 
bers and  works  cooperatively  with  other  medical  organizations  such  as  the  Amer- 
ican Medical  Association.  It  provides  information  and  testimony  to  the  U.S. 
Congress  and  other  federal  agencies  concerning  medical  and  health-related 
issues.  The  Organization  of  Student  Representatives  (OSR),  the  AAMC's  stu- 
dent voice,  is  composed  of  one  student  representative  from  each  participating 
medical  school.  OSR  members  gather  at  an  annual  meeting  each  autumn  to  dis- 
cuss matters  of  concern  to  the  nation's  medical  students  and  to  elect  an  Admin- 
istrative Board.  The  12-member  Administrative  Board  meets  quarterly  with  the 
boards  of  other  AAMC  Councils  to  formulate  AAMC  programs  and  policies 
reflecting  student  views.  OSR  business  is  also  conducted  at  regional  spring  meet- 
ings. The  OSR  delegate  channels  AAMC  information  to  the  student  body  on 
medical  education  issues  such  as  curriculum  changes,  the  residency  match  and 
student  indebtedness. 

The  Other  Half.  "The  Other  Half  is  a  support  group  open  to  all  medical  in- 
dents and  their  significant  others  (i.e.,  husbands,  wives,  boyfriends,  girlfriends) 
who  are  interested.  The  Other  Halfs  goal  is  both  social  and  supportive.  Main- 
taining a  relationship  while  in  medical  school  can  be  difficult  and  knowing  other 
people  in  the  same  situation  can  be  helpful  id  both  students  and  then  partners. 
Gatherings  such  as  the  potluck  dinners,  wine  tasting,  pizza  part}  and  wine  and 
cheese  parties  have  been  popular  activities.

Student  Environmental  Association.  Members  meet  informally  several  times 
throughout  the  year  to  address  environmental  issues  of  interest.  In  the  past  mem- 
bers have  been  concerned  primarily  with  a  recycling  campaign  that  collects  alu- 
minum and  paper  products  donated  by  medical  and  graduate  students.  Proceeds 
from  such  collections  are  donated  to  neighborhood  shelters  for  the  homeless. 
Members  also  plan  outings  to  beautify  public  parks,  reclaiming  metals  and  paper 
in  the  process.  The  club  discusses  issues  of  the  environment  on  local  and  national 
levels  and  plans  to  invite  several  outside  authorities  to  suggest  how  medical  stu- 
dents may  contribute  to  environmental  movements  that  they  support. 

Student  National  Medical  Association.  The  University  of  Maryland  Chapter  o( 
the  Student  National  Medical  Association  (SNMA)  is  a  black  medical  student 
organization  that  seeks  primarily  to  provide  academic  and  social  support  for 
minority  medical  students  at  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore.  The 
SNMA  organizes  study  groups,  provides  valuable  course  information  and  review 
material,  and  facilitates  organized  discussions  between  upperclassmen  and  enter- 
ing students  on  course  requirements  and  strategies. 

The  SNMA  also  seeks  to  involve  itself  in  health  and  educational  activ- 
ities that  benefit  the  surrounding  community  and  its  youth.  In  past  years  the 
SNMA  has  been  involved  in  tutoring  local  high  school  students,  health  screen- 
ing programs  in  the  community  and  in  presentations  informing  high  school  and 
college  students  o(  medical  school  opportunities.  In  addition,  the  SNMA  has 
sponsored  activities  for  black  history  month  that  have  included  seminars  and 
films.  SNMA  is  active  in  programs  that  promote  greater  interaction  among  black 
students,  physicians,  faculty  and  alumni. 

PUBLICATIONS 

Academic  Handbook.  The  Acosmic  Handbook  is  the  "official  word"  on  medical 
school  policy  and  life,  written  by  those  who  run  the  various  programs  described — 
administrators,  faculty,  students.  Although  the  book  is  prepared  through  the 
Office  of  Student  Affairs,  student  participation  and  feedback  contribute  signifi- 
cantly to  its  effectiveness. 

AMSA  Directory.  With  financial  support  from  the  Office  of  Student  Affairs  and 
the  Office  of  Admissions,  the  American  Medical  Student  Association  (AMSA) 
at  UMAB  compiles  a  student  address  and  telephone  directory  each  fall.  The  book 
is  available  to  all  medical  students  at  no  cost. 

Snowdays.  Snowdays  is  a  booklet  written  by  the  freshman  class  for  entering  fresh- 
men. Designed  to  acquaint  students  with  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Balti- 
more and  surrounding  areas  and  metropolitan  Baltimore,  it  includes  information 
on  housing,  eateries  and  entertainment  that  would  be  helpful  to  people  new  to 
the  city.  Snowdays  was  conceived  in  the  hope  of  providing  freshmen  with  infor- 
mal ion  that  might  prove  useful  prior  to  their  starting  the  school  year.

The  Yearbook  (Terra  Mariae  Medicus).  Since  1896  Terra  Mariae  Medicus  has 
provided  wide  coverage  of  student  life.  It  is  a  collection  of  moments  and  memo- 
ries from  the  four  years  of  medical  school  put  together  by  the  members  of  each 
senior  class.  Each  senior  receives  a  yearbook,  the  cost  of  which  is  included  in  the 
student  activities  fee. 

Zebra  Quide.  Moving  from  the  basic  science  classrooms  to  the  third-  and  fourth- 
year  clinical  clerkships  is  a  major  transition.  The  Zebra  Guide  is  an  introduction 
to  the  clinical  years  o(  medical  school.  It  was  written  by  students  for  students. 
The  guide  contains  helpful  hints  in  areas  such  as  getting  organized,  medical 
records,  roundsmanship  and  formal  communications.  It  also  contains  step-by- 
step  instructions  for  various  procedures  performed  during  clinical  clerkships.  The 
Zebra  Guide  is  meant  to  enhance  interaction  among  students,  residents  and 
attending  physicians  during  clinical  clerkships. 

INSTITUTIONAL  GOVERNANCE  AND  PLANNING 

The  Committee  System.  Several  committees  are  actively  involved  in  shaping 
the  School  of  Medicine,  particularly  the  curriculum  and  other  essential  aspects 
o(  medical  education,  and  students  have  a  voice  on  these  committees.  The  fol- 
lowing committees/councils  include  students  in  their  memberships. 

Curriculum  Coordinating  Committee  (CCC)  and  Subcommittees.  The  task  of 
the  Curriculum  Coordinating  Committee  is  to  continually  study  and  evaluate 
the  curriculum  and  methods  o(  instruction,  to  make  recommendations  concern- 
ing changes  and  innovations  in  the  curriculum  and  instructional  procedures,  to 
make  a  continuing  study  of  the  student  achievement  evaluation  process  and  to 
recommend  changes  when  necessary.  In  addition,  the  CCC  Subcommittees,  i.e., 
Year  I,  Year  II,  Clinical  Years  and  the  Electives  Committee,  each  include  two 
student  representatives  elected  by  their  classmates. 

School  of  Medicine  Council.  Through  the  School  of  Medicine  Council,  faculty 
and  students  participate  in  the  development  of  a  variety  of  medical  school  policies. 
In  addition  to  their  role  as  policy  makers,  council  members  also  hear  status  reports 
from  committees  appointed  by  the  dean.  These  include  the  reports  of  the  Curricu- 
lum Committee,  the  Annual  Admissions  Report  and  the  reports  of  the  various 
search  committees.  The  School  of  Medicine  Council  meets  monthly  during  the 
academic  year,  offering  students  an  excellent  opportunity  to  develop  an  under- 
standing of  the  issues  affecting  the  operation  and  plans  of  the  medical  school.  The 
council  has  approximately  80  voting  members,  1  1  of  whom  are  students. 

Judicial  Board.  Acceptable  behavior  within  the  academic  community,  includ- 
ing proper  behavior  on  examinations,  tails  within  the  purview  of  the  judicial 
review  system  and  its  functioning  body,  the  Judicial  Board.  The  system  and  oper- 

STUDEN1    LIFE     • 


ation  of  the  board  are  defined  in  a  document  entitled  "Statement  of  Ethical  Prin- 
ciples, Judicial  Review  System  and  By-Laws  of  the  Judicial  Board."  The  board 
consists  of  a  chairperson  appointed  by  the  dean  and  representatives  of  the  differ- 
ent groups  in  the  medical  school  community.  Any  member  of  the  community 
who  directly  witnesses  an  act  that  he  or  she  deems  unethical  should  report  the 
incident  in  a  signed  letter  to  the  chairman  of  the  Judicial  Board.  The  board  will 
then  investigate  the  issue  and  hold  hearings,  as  defined  in  the  aforementioned 
document.  Findings  of  the  board  and  its  recommendations  with  respect  to  the 
accused  are  forwarded  to  the  dean.  Three  student  representatives,  one  each  from 
the  sophomore,  junior  and  senior  classes,  are  appointed  by  the  appropriate  class 
presidents. 

Ethical  Advisory  Committee  (University  Hospital).  This  state-mandated  com- 
mittee is  composed  of  about  25  physicians,  nurses,  social  workers,  administrators, 
clergy,  attorneys  and  other  personnel,  and  welcomes  the  input  of  students  and 
residents  as  nonvoting  participants.  The  committee  advises  hospital  staff  and 
families  on  request  regarding  difficult  ethical  decisions  such  as  life  support  for  ter- 
minal patients,  and  also  helps  develop  hospital  policy  regarding  such  critical  sit- 
uations. The  committee  also  serves  an  educational  function  to  hospital  staff  and 
reviews  legal  and  legislative  decisions. 

Special  Task  Forces.  On  occasion,  special  committees,  task  forces  and  retreats 
are  set  up  to  examine  school  policies  or  curriculum  issues.  Where  these  issues 
have  direct  relevance  to  students,  the  classes  are  frequently  invited  to  send  rep- 
resentatives to  these  functions.  Major  changes  in  policy  or  curriculum  typically 
take  two  or  more  years  to  plan  and  implement,  and  this  may  be  frustrating  to  stu- 
dents who  will  be  members  of  each  class  for  only  one  year.  At  the  same  time,  how- 
ever, each  group  of  entering  students  reaps  the  benefits  of  changes  to  which  their 
predecessors  have  contributed  and  now  have  the  opportunity  to  leave  a  similar 
legacy  to  their  successors. 

STUDENT  AND  EMPLOYEE  HEALTH 

Health  care  for  medical  students  is  available  at  Student  and  Employee  Health, 
UMAB  Professional  Building  at  419  West  Redwood  Street.  Monday-Friday  and 
after-hour  coverage  is  provided  (24  hours  a  day,  365  days  a  year)  by  the  faculty 
of  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine. 

Counseling  services  are  provided  at  the  Counseling  Center.  Stress,  rela- 
tionships and  marital  problems,  loss  of  a  loved  one,  eating  disorders,  family  con- 
cerns and  stressful  changes  in  school  or  home  life  are  the  most  common  problems 
experienced  by  students.  The  center  offers  individual  and  group  counseling 
weekdays  with  expanded  hours  to  accommodate  individuals  needing  evening 
appointments.

including  routine  medical  care,  minor  surgery  and  gynecological  care.  Birth  con- 
trol pills  are  available  at  a  reduced  cost  for  students  receiving  their  care  through 
Student  and  Employee  Health.  Students  are  responsible  for  the  cost  o(  any  con- 
sultations outside  Student  and  Employee  Health,  including  any  diagnostic  or  lab 
charges  not  covered  by  insurance. 

All  students  are  required  to  have  health  insurance  with  certain  mini- 
mum benefits.  An  excellent  policy  is  available  through  UMAB.  At  registration, 
all  full-time  students  must  either  purchase  the  UMAB  policy  or  waive  it  by  show- 
ing proof  of  comparable  coverage.  The  deadline  for  waiving  the  UMAB  policy  is 
in  late  September.  If  proof  of  comparable  insurance  is  not  received  at  Student 
and  Employee  Health  by  that  time,  the  UMAB  policy  must  be  purchased  for  each 
month  the  waiver  is  not  presented.  Demonstrated  proof  of  comparable  insurance 
is  required  each  year  the  UMAB  policy  is  not  purchased. 

All  new  students  are  required  to  complete  a  Report  of  Medical  History 
and  an  Immunization  Record  form  that  documents  immunity  to  childhood  ill- 
nesses. Students  failing  to  present  these  completed  forms  as  freshmen  will  not  be 
permitted  to  register  for  the  sophomore  year.  All  incoming  students  will  be 
immunized  against  Hepatitis  B,  an  occupational  illness  of  physicians  and  health 
care  providers.  A  series  of  three  immunizations  is  given  and  its  cost  is  included 
in  student  fees. 

All  family  members  can  be  seen  at  Family  Medicine  Specialists,  the  fac- 
ulty practice  of  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine.  The  family  physicians  pro- 
vide care  for  the  entire  family,  including  obstetrical  and  pediatric  care.

Anatomy 

Department  of  Anatomy 
Professor  and  Acting  Chairman 
Marshall  L.  Rennels,  PhD 

The  Department  oi  Anatomy  provides  instruction  in  all  o{  the  anatomical  sci- 
ences: gross  anatomy,  microscopic  anatomy,  neurologic  anatomy  and  develop- 
mental anatomy.  Courses  are  offered  to  medical  students  and  to  graduate  students 
working  toward  an  MS  or  PhD  degree.  The  goal  of  the  department  in  medical  edu- 
cation is  to  provide  a  basic  understanding  o(  the  structural  organization  of  the 
human  body  as  related  to  normal  function.  Whenever  possible,  important  clini- 
cal implications  and  research  applications  of  the  material  under  study  are  empha- 
sized. The  study  of  human  structure  includes  all  levels  from  gross  morphology  seen 
in  the  dissecting  room  to  the  fine  structure  as  revealed  with  the  electron  micro- 
scope. The  neuroanatomy  course  is  taught  in  an  integrated  format  with  neuro- 
physiology, neurochemistry,  neurobiology  and  clinical  neurology. 

A  knowledge  of  anatomy  is  essential  to  the  proper  understanding  of  clin- 
ical practice.  Since  a  full  understanding  of  any  basic  science  can  best  be  obtained 
by  direct  observation,  the  anatomy  department  emphasizes  laboratory  instruction 
in  its  gross,  microscopic  and  neurologic  anatomy  courses.  By  integrating  the  the- 
oretical lectures  with  the  practical  laboratory  assignments,  the  student  is  provided 
with  a  comprehensive  and  meaningful  treatment  of  the  subject. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

The  faculty  of  the  Department  of  Anatomy  are  actively  engaged  in  research  on 
several  fundamental  aspects  o(  cell  biology  including  developmental  biology. 
Projects  on  spinal  cord  regeneration,  neuronal  transplantation,  innervation  of 
cerebral  blood  vessels  and  circulation  o(  the  cerebrospinal  fluid  are  representa- 
tive of  departmental  interests  in  neurobiology.  Studies  of  muscle  biology  focus 
upon  atrophy,  hypertrophy,  growth,  regeneration  and  trophic  influences  of 
nerves  on  skeletal  muscle.  An  extensive  research  program  in  reproductive  biol- 
ogy is  focused  on  the  regulation  o\  ovarian  function.

Giuseppi  Inesi,  MD,  PhD 

Biochemistry,  including  molecular  biology,  seeks  to  understand  the  phenomena 
o(  biology  in  terms  of  molecular  structure  and  interaction.  It  permeates  all  of 
modern  biology  and  medicine  and  is  a  fundamental  prerequisite  to  other  medical 
sciences,  particularly  pharmacology,  microbiology,  cell  biology  and  pathology; 
and  the  clinical  sciences. 

It  is  a  teaching  goal  of  the  department  to  present  a  concise  but  com- 
prehensive lecture-conference  course  including  as  major  subjects:  proteins, 
enzymes,  nucleic  acids,  intermediary  metabolism,  energy  production  and  utiliza- 
tion, chemical  aspects  of  hormones,  protein  and  nucleic  acid  biosynthesis,  an 
introduction  to  molecular  biology  and  biochemical  genetics.  In  addition, 
the  introductory  biochemistry  course  includes  a  systematic  series  of  correlative 
medicine  sessions  organized  with  the  Department  of  Medicine  that  demonstrates 
the  application  o{  biochemistry  to  the  understanding  o(  human  disorders.  The 
department  also  offers  an  Independent  Study  Course  which  covers  the  same 
material  in  a  small  group  setting. 

Because  some  entering  students  have  had  previous  exposure  to  bio- 
chemistry and  molecular  biology,  the  department  offers  a  place-out  examination 
during  the  first  week  of  the  freshman  year. 

Students  with  special  interests  in  biochemical  investigation  are  encour- 
aged to  contact  individual  faculty  members  about  opportunities  for  part-time  or 
summer  research.  Limited  funds  have  been  available  to  support  part-time  research 
assistants  from  the  medical  school.

Diagnostic  Radiology 

Department  of  Diagnostic  Radiology 
Professor  and  Acting  Chairman 
Gerald  S.  Johnston,  MD 

Since  German  physicist  Wilhelm  Conrad  Roentgen  discovered  the  x-ray  in 
1 895,  its  use  has  been  greatly  expanded  in  our  society.  With  the  advances  in  tech- 
nique, including  computed  tomography,  radiology  now  makes  or  verifies  the 
diagnosis  in  three  out  of  four  cases  of  organic  disease.  With  the  addition  and  inte- 
gration of  nuclear  medicine,  ultrasonography  and  magnetic  resonance  imaging 
(MRI),  diagnostic  imaging  is  playing  an  even  more  extended  role  in  diagnosis 
and  selected  (interventional)  therapeutic  procedures. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

Basic  science  research  in  the  Department  of  Radiology  focuses  upon  digital  radi- 
ography and  fluoroscopy  sensor  development.  Departmental  re-searchers  are 
building  a  high-resolution,  scanning  solid  state  x-ray  detector  for  digital  radi- 
ographic studies,  particularly  mammography.  The  department  is  also  working  in 
cooperation  with  x-ray  equipment  manufacturers  to  improve  current  digital  sub- 
traction angiography  (DSA)  systems.  A  new  area  of  research  being  developed  is 
the  application  of  computed  vision  techniques  to  radiography  imaging.  This 
effort,  in  collaboration  with  the  internationally  renowned  Computer  Vision

Laboratory  at  the  University  of  Maryland  College  Park,  will  seek  to  develop 
quantitative  measures  to  assist  the  radiologist  in  evaluating  the  presence,  extent 
and  severity  of  disease.  An  active  project  is  ongoing  for  evaluating  pulsed,  low- 
fram  rate  fluoroscopy  for  patient  exposure  reduction. 

Clinical  research  is  this  department's  main  focus  and  includes  several 
long-term  projects.  Cooperative  studies  with  physicians  in  gynecologic  oncology 
and  the  University  of  Maryland  Cancer  Center  are  proceeding  to  establish  the 
accuracy  and  limits  of  computed  tomography  and  MRI  in  staging  gynecologic 
malignancies  and  lymphoma.  Several  projects  are  under  way,  in  co-operation  with 
MIEMSS  physicians,  evaluating  the  usefulness  of  CT  and  MRI  in  the  diagnosis  of 
multiple  visceral  trauma,  hemological  trauma  and  skeletal  trauma,  particularly 
involving  the  pelvis  and  acetabula.  Multiple  cooperative  nuclear-cardiology  stud- 
ies are  progressing  with  cardiology,  and  used  angiography  equipment  is  being 
installed  in  the  cardiology  laboratory  in  the  Medical  School  Teaching  Facility. 

UNDERGRADUATE  MEDICAL  PROGRAM 

The  Department  of  Radiology  offers  the  medical  student  an  opportunity  to 
acquire  a  broad  base  of  knowledge  touching  on  almost  all  aspects  of  medicine. 
Formal  instruction  is  carried  out  in  the  third  year  with  the  course  RADI  540.  The 
required  curriculum  is  supplemented  with  informal  case  discussions  with  the  staff 
and  contact  through  interdepartmental  rounds  and  conferences  involving  radi- 
ology while  the  student  is  on  the  other  clinical  rotations  at  the  University  of 
Maryland  Medical  System. 

Third  Year 

RADI  540.  Basic  Radiology.  Groups  of  students  are  assigned  for  a  period  of 
three  weeks  to  the  Department  of  Radiology.  The  group  is  subdivided  to  allow 
individual  instruction  as  the  student  rotates  through  brief  observation  periods  in 
selected  subspecialties  within  the  department.  Students  also  receive  an  intro- 
duction to  the  Department  of  Radiation  Oncology.  Reading  assignments,  small 
group  slide-tape  exercises,  a  student  teaching  file  and  lectures  form  the  core  of 
the  learning  experience.  Students  attend  departmental  conferences  and  some 
joint  conferences  with  other  departments.  An  objective  final  examination  is 
included  in  the  course. 

Third  and  Fourth  Year 

Radiology  Elective.  Students  learn  more  about  properly  using  diagnostic  imag- 
ing and  interpreting  images.  The  precise  curriculum  is  flexible,  tailored  to  t he- 
needs  of  the  student's  career  choice.  Students  are  expected  to  investigate  some 
small  aspect  of  imaging  within  their  area  of  interest  and  make  a  short  presenta- 
tion to  the  faculty  and  residents.  This  presentation  and  overall  performance,  as 
evaluated  by  the  curriculum  supervisor,  serve  as  the  evaluation  criteria  tor  this 
elective.  RADI  540  is  a  prerequisite.

Epidemiology  and  Preventive  Medicine 

Department  of  Epidemiology  and  Preventive  Medicine 
Professor  and  Chairman 
Paul  D.  Stolley,  MD,  MPH 

Modern  epidemiology  is  a  relatively  new  biomedical  discipline  at  the  interface 
of  clinical  practice  and  basic  medical  science.  The  clinical  arena  within  which 
epidemiologists  work  is  termed  preventive  medicine.  The  practice  of  epidemiol- 
ogy and  preventive  medicine  requires  a  comprehensive  knowledge  of  clinical 
medicine  and  basic  medical  science,  as  well  as  research  methods,  biostatistics  and 
social  sciences. 

The  department  is  engaged  in  teaching,  research  and  service  across  the 
spectrum  o(  public  health  and  preventive  medicine.  Programs  in  clinical  epi- 
demiology, biostatistics,  environmental  and  occupational  health,  health  services 
administration  and  evaluation,  health  services  research,  medical  effectiveness 
research,  gerontology,  behavioral  science,  maternal  and  child  health,  interna- 
tional health,  health  economics  and  medical  informatics  are  offered.  Faculty 
members  also  conduct  research  and  offer  courses,  seminars,  journal  clubs,  clini- 
cal assignments  and  supervised  research  experiences  designed  to  enhance  the 
physician's  capabilities  in  these  areas  of  increasing  public  concern. 

Interdisciplinary  programs  with  the  Divisions  of  Geographic  Medicine 
and  Infectious  Diseases  of  the  Department  of  Medicine  and  the  University  of 
Maryland  Cancer  Center  are  additional  resources  available  to  qualified  students. 
Other  facilities  include  the  Survey  Research  and  Development  Center,  the 
Health  Data  Management  Center  and  the  Maryland  Cancer  Registry. 

Required  courses  in  biostatistics,  epidemiology,  occupational  and  envi- 
ronmental medicine,  organization  of  the  health  care  system  and  clinical  preven- 
tive medicine  are  given  in  the  first,  second  and  fourth  years  of  the  curriculum. 
The  Department  of  Epidemiology  and  Preventive  Medicine  may  be  chosen  by 
MD/PhD  students  for  their  work  towards  the  PhD  in  epidemiology.  In  addition, 
many  of  the  graduate  courses,  tutorials  and  research  experiences  available  to  res- 
idents and  PhD  students  are  also  available  to  medical  students  during  their  elec- 
tive periods.  Students  are  invited  to  attend  departmental  seminars  and  journal 
clubs,  which  are  scheduled  each  week  through  the  academic  year.

An  approved  two-year  residency  leading  to  certification  in  general  pre- 
ventive medicine  is  designed  to  prepare  physicians  for  positions  in  federal  health 
agencies,  state  health  departments,  hospitals,  medical  schools,  public  health 
institutes  and  industry,  as  well  as  for  the  practice  of  clinical  preventive  medicine. 

The  community  service  activities  o(  the  department  are  carried  out 
through  active  collaboration  in  health  planning,  research  and  evaluation  with 
agencies  and  institutions  concerned  with  health  problems  throughout  the 
region.  These  include  hospital  clinics,  health  departments  and  a  variety  of  other 
governmental  and  voluntary  organizations. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

Research  activities  within  the  department  encompass  a  broad  range  of  interests. 
Clinical  and  community  intervention  studies  directed  toward  the  prevention  of 
heart  disease,  cancer  and  stroke  are  major  research  areas  of  the  department. 
Environmental  risk  factors  for  congenital  heart  disease  and  other  birth  defects 
represent  another  important  area  of  departmental  research.  A  third  major  con- 
centration for  research  is  the  general  area  of  gerontology  with  special  reference 
to  musculoskeletal  problems  associated  with  aging  and  long-term  care  for  per- 
sons with  dementia. 

Hospital  and  health  services  research,  including  studies  of  medical  care 
effectiveness,  are  subjects  of  increasing  interest  to  departmental  faculty.  Health 
behavior  modification  with  particular  emphasis  on  smoking  cessation  has  been 
a  continuing  research  activity  over  the  past  two  decades. 

The  department  has  recently  added  a  program  of  international  health 
that  operates  in  collaboration  with  the  Naval  Medical  Research  Unit  ^3  in  Cairo 
investigating  the  prevention  and  control  of  infectious  and  tropic  diseases.

The  Department  of  Family  Medicine  educates  family  physicians  to  render  high- 
quality  medical  care  to  individual  patients  and  families  in  a  continuous  and  com' 
prehensive  manner.  Family  physicians  arc:  responsible  tor  patient  care  at  the 
point  ot  entry  into  the  health  care  system;  providers  or  coordinators  o(  health 
care  at  the  secondary  and  long-term  care  phases  of  illness;  and  coordinators  ot 
tertiary' care.

The  department  offers  educational  experiences  in  family  medicine  for 
students  at  the  Family  Health  Center,  on  the  Family  Practice  Inpatient  Service 
and  through  an  interdisciplinary,  longitudinal,  educational  program  that  is 
guided  by  a  staff  of  experienced  family  physicians.  Moreover,  students  may  par- 
ticipate in  community  health  services  and  supervised  practice  experiences,  as 
well  as  in  basic  health  care  research. 

Within  the  discipline  of  family  medicine  several  areas  are  emphasized. 
The  department  has  a  Division  of  Geriatrics  that  dates  back  to  1974  and  is  a 
national  leader  in  geriatrics  education.  It  was  the  first  specifically  dedicated  Divi- 
sion of  Geriatrics  on  this  campus.  Multiple  programs,  both  departmental  and 
interdisciplinary,  are  in  place  or  being  formulated.  The  Supportive  Care  Unit  is 
a  unique  model  for  rehabilitation  of  frail,  elderly  patients  following  an  acute  hos- 
pital stay,  focusing  on  optimization  of  function  with  a  goal  of  returning  patients 
to  home,  or  the  least  restrictive  environment,  upon  discharge.  The  broad  spec- 
trum of  the  division's  educational,  research  and  patient  care  efforts  includes  the 
pre-elderly  well,  the  hospitalized  elderly,  the  frail  homebound  elderly,  and  the 
chronically  incapacitated  aged  patient.  The  division  provides  regular  housecalls 
for  150  frail  homebound  elderly,  the  largest  program  in  the  city.  The  Division  of 
Geriatrics  is  a  leader  in  the  field  of  quality  assurance  in  long-term  care  facilities. 
Expansion  of  facilities  and  activities  to  continue  eminence  in  this  area  is  in 
progress. 

Faculty  development  is  a  major  departmental  effort,  as  well.  Courses 
and  workshops  in  teaching  skills  are  offered  to  predoctoral  and  postdoctoral  stu- 
dents. Fellowships  in  geriatric  medicine  are  offered  to  residency  graduates  who 
wish  to  further  develop  their  skills  in  the  care  of  geriatric  patients. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

The  research  efforts  of  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine  reflect  the  broad 
interests  of  the  department's  faculty.  Current  projects,  which  are  clinically  ori- 
ented and  relate  to  current  medical  problems,  range  from  epidemiologic  studies 
to  evaluations  of  specific  therapies.  The  department  has  a  strong  interest  in 
health  promotion  and  nutrition,  especially  as  it  relates  to  the  family  and  the 
elderly.  Collaborative  efforts  with  other  departments  involve  investigations  into 
health  promotion,  infections  in  the  elderly,  abdominal  pain,  informed  consent, 
and  osteoarthritis.  During  their  last  year  of  training,  all  Family  Medicine  resi- 
dents are  required  to  complete  a  research  project  and  to  present  their  results  at 
the  Annual  Family  Medicine  Residents'  Research  Day.  The  department  faculty, 
fellows  and  residents  present  their  research  at  nat  i<  >nal  meetings,  and  in  journals, 
books  and  other  publications. 

UNDERGRADUATE  MEDICAL  PROGRAM 

Longitudinal  Elective.  Introduced  into  the  curriculum  in  1976,  this  elective  per- 
mits students  with  an  interest  in  family  medicine  to  gain  knowledge  toward  that 

70     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


career  objective.  The  entire  elective  spans  a  two-year  period  and  is  a  survey  of 
topics  related  to  family  medicine.  The  curriculum  makes  every  attempt  to  corre- 
late basic  science  and  clinical  science  information.  The  small  group  format 
allows  maximum  instructor-student,  as  well  as  student-student,  interaction. 

Minimester  Electives.  During  the  summer  months,  students  may  elect  to  spend 
time  in  the  office  of  a  selected  family  physician  in  order  to  observe  the  varied  pro- 
fessional activities  of  a  physician  practicing  in  the  community.  During  precep- 
torship  experiences,  students  may  participate  in  direct  patient  care  or  primary 
health  care  research. 

Family  Care  Track  Program.  The  Family  Care  Track  (FCT)  is  an  elective 
undergraduate  experience  designed  to  teach  medical  students  the  principles  of 
family  medicine  with  a  focus  on  the  urban,  poor,  multi-problem  family.  It  pro- 
vides a  continuous  clinical  experience  through  all  four  undergraduate  years.  Stu- 
dents are  assigned  to  follow  three  families  over  four  years  in  the  department's 
Family  Practice  Centers.  The  families  are  selected  to  provide  exposure  to  obstet- 
ric, pediatric  and  geriatric  care,  and  to  family  dysfunction.  Supervision  is  pro- 
vided to  the  individual  and  through  the  use  of  small  group  integration  seminars 
for  case  discussion.  The  students  are  also  required  to  complete  a  community  med- 
icine seminar  series,  a  social  services  preceptorship,  a  needs  assessment,  a  com- 
munity project,  and  a  four-week  clinical  preceptorship  in  sites,  including  some 
located  in  health  professional  shortage  areas. 

Up  to  20  students  are  selected  each  year  from  the  freshman  Longitudinal 
Elective  in  Family  Medicine  to  participate  in  the  Family  Care  Track  Program.  Cred- 
its for  this  elective  include:  1 )  one  basic  science  and  one  nonbasic  science  credit  for 
each  year  of  the  longitudinal  elective;  2)  four  weeks  of  senior  elective  credit  at  the 
completion  of  the  program;  and  3)  introduction  to  clinical  practice  credit. 

Senior  Elective  in  Family  Practice.  In  this  elective  students  work  with  a  com- 
munity family  physician  preceptor.  They  have  the  opportunity,  under  supervi- 
sion, to  manage  problems  typical  of  a  busy  practice,  ranging  from  obstetrics  to 
geriatrics.  Here,  there  is  ample  opportunity  to  be  involved  in  coordinating  con- 
tinuous care  of  patients  for  four  to  six  weeks.  Students  begin  to  understand  the 
patient  in  relationship  to  family,  job  and  environment.  Furthermore,  the  student 
pbserves  the  role  of  the  physician  in  society,  the  social  and  civic  obligations  and 
responsibilities  to  the  patient.  Site  options  range  from  urban  health  manpower 
shortage  sites  to  rural  private  practice.  In  these  varied  settings  students  are 
expected  to  conduct  a  limited  clinical  investigation,  using  data  collected  in  the 
practice,  and  to  attend  weekly  Alcoholics  Anonymous  or  Al-Anon  meetings  in 
the  community. 

Senior  Internship  in  Family  Practice.  The  Department  of  Family  Medicine 
offers  an  eight-week  internship  to  senior  students.  This  is  an  extensive  inpai  ieni 
experience  utilizing  the  family  medicine  inpatient  service.  Variety  i^  a  major

general  medical  and  geriatric  care.  The  student  is  exposed  to  the  family  practice 
approach  to  inpatient  care  with  an  emphasis  on  interdisciplinary,  comprehen- 
sive and  continuous  care.  The  students  participate  in  night  and  weekend  call. 
Students  may  opt  to  accomplish  the  rotation  at  University  Hospital  or  Union 
Memorial  Hospital.  The  rotation  at  Union  Memorial  is  primarily  an  internal 
medicine  experience. 

Senior  Ambulatory  Clerkship  in  Family  Practice.  Students  may  select  the  Fam- 
ily Health  Center  as  an  option  in  the  required  Senior  Ambulatory  Course.  This 
eight-week  rotation  exposes  students  to  the  clinical  practice  of  the  Department 
of  Family  Medicine  Residency  Program.  In  this  setting  students  are  scheduled  to 
see  patients  daily  in  the  Family  Health  Center,  work  with  a  variety  of  preceptors 
from  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine,  and  participate  in  didactic  sessions. 
This  ambulatory  experience  is  designed  to  expose  students  to  the  principles  and 
practice  of  Family  Medicine. 

GRADUATE  MEDICAL  PROGRAM 

The  University  of  Maryland's  approved  three-year  residency  in  family  practice  is 
one  of  the  oldest  in  the  nation.  Approximately  36  residents  are  enrolled  in  a 
three-year  program  whose  goal  is  to  provide  comprehensive  training  in  the  spe- 
cialty, utilizing  the  latest  information  and  educational  methods.  Resident  train- 
ing takes  place  both  at  University  Hospital,  where  the  expertise  of  faculty  in  all 
specialties  can  be  utilized,  and  in  several  community  hospitals  where  the  resi- 
dents are  exposed  to  a  wide  variety  of  patient  problems.  The  program  adheres 
closely  to  the  educational  requirements  of  the  Residency  Review  Committee  for 
Family  Practice  of  the  Accreditation  Council  for  Graduate  Medical  Education. 
Additionally,  every  effort  is  made  to  see  that  the  curriculum  and  educational 
experiences  are  in  accordance  with  the  Residency  Assistance  Program's  Criteria 
for  Excellence  in  Training.  Flexibility,  however,  is  maintained  through  the  avail- 
ability of  electives  in  order  to  accommodate  the  specific  needs  of  the  trainee. 
Although  the  majority  of  graduates  are  actively  engaged  in  family  practice  in 
rural,  suburban  and  urban  areas,  a  significant  number  are  pursuing  an  academic 
career. 

CONTINUING  EDUCATION  PROGRAMS 

This  phase  of  the  Maryland  program  is  based  on  the  philosophy  that  the  educa- 
tion of  the  family  physician  must  be  a  continuum  throughout  the  entire  profes- 
sional career.  These  programs  help  to  prepare  family  physicians  to  successfully 
pass  each  recertification  examination  as  required  by  the  American  Board  of  Fam- 
ily Practice. 

A  variety  of  continuing  education  programs  is  offered,  ranging  from 
short  didactic  courses  to  extensive  in-depth  courses  in  system-oriented  clinical

subjects.  Also  offered  are  individually  tailored  courses  designed  to  fulfill  the  spe- 
cific needs  of  a  physician.  Information  on  current  and  projected  courses  is  avail- 
able at  all  times  from  the  Department  of  Family  Medicine  or  the  Program  of 
Continuing  Education  of  the  Medical  School.

The  Department  of  Medicine,  or  Internal  Medicine  as  it  is  called  in  some  schools, 
teaches  that  body  of  medical  knowledge  that  enables  one  to  diagnose  and  treat 
the  illnesses  of  adults  primarily  with  medicines  rather  than  with  operations. 

The  practitioner  of  internal  medicine  is  usually  called  an  internist,  but 
he  or  she  may  be  referred  to  by  the  title  physician,  in  the  specialized  use  of  the 
word,  which  can  also  be  applied  to  any  medical  doctor.  An  internist,  used  in  this 
sense,  may  be  a  cardiologist,  an  endocrinologist,  a  gastroenterologist,  a  rheuma- 
tologist  or  a  practitioner  in  one  of  the  dozen  or  so  specialties  of  internal  medi- 
cine. But  the  internist  always  remains  the  physician  (or  the  diagnostician  as 
internists  were  called  in  past  decades)  whose  special  competence  is  solving  diffi- 
cult diagnostic  problems  and  personally  applying,  or  obtaining  from  a  colleague, 
the  best  treatment  available  at  the  time. 

The  term  internal  medicine,  which  derives  from  the  German  Innere 
Medizin,  was  first  used  during  the  nineteenth  century  when  many  American 
physicians  travelled  to  Germany  and  Austria  for  training  in  what  were  then  the 
leading  clinics  and  medical  laboratories.  According  to  one  medical  historian, 
"Within  a  decade  or  so  after  1880,  internal  medicine  was  differentiated  from 
ordinary  clinical  medicine,  the  simple  natural  history  of  disease,  by  emphasizing 
that  it  was  based  on  experimental  work  in  physiology  and  physiochemistry." 
Internists  have  always  required  special  training  to  acquire  their  knowledge  and 
skills  and  have  continuously  shown  a  particular  interest  in  the  scientific  basis  ot 
clinical  work. 

Educating  medical  practitioners  tor  the  state  and  the  nation  is  the  prin- 
cipal training  responsibility  o(  the  faculty  oi  the  Department  of  Medicine,  but  it 
is  also  our  aim  to  develop  in  sonic  students  a  desire  to  make  useful  discoveries

through  basic  or  applied  research.  Fundamental  advances  in  the  causes  and  treat- 
ment of  disease  have  often  been  made  by  internists;  for  example,  the  work  on 
cholesterol  metabolism  which  in  1985  brought  the  Nobel  Prize  in  Medicine  and 
Physiology  to  two  internists,  one  a  gastroenterologist  and  the  other  a  geneticist. 
In  keeping  with  this  traditional  devotion  to  the  value  of  research,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Medicine  provides  many  opportunities  for  students  to  participate  in 
research  and  strongly  encourages  all  who  may  have  an  interest  to  experience  the 
work  of  the  investigator  in  one  of  our  laboratories. 

UNDERGRADUATE  COURSES 

Second  Year 

PDIA  520.  History  and  Physical  Examination.  Eliciting  an  accurate  story  of 
the  patient's  complaints  (the  history)  and  detecting  abnormal  findings  by  phys- 
ical examination  constitute  the  fundamental  skills  of  every  physician.  To  acquire 
these  abilities,  students  attend  introductory  lectures  from  members  of  the  faculty; 
afterwards,  groups  of  two  students  meet  weekly  with  instructors  in  one  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland's  teaching  hospitals.  The  students  interview  and  examine 
patients  with  a  wide  variety  of  illnesses  and  then  discuss  the  findings  with  their 
teacher  who  correlates  the  observations  with  pathophysiological  abnormalities 
being  studied  in  basic  science  courses. 

Third  Year 

MEDC  530.  Clinical  Clerkship.  This  is  the  fundamental  course  in  internal 
medicine  for  medical  students.  For  12  weeks,  the  students  work  with  the  medical 
teams  caring  for  inpatients  at  the  department's  three  primary  teaching  hospitals: 
the  University  of  Maryland  Hospital,  the  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration 
Medical  Center  and  Mercy  Medical  Center.  Students  join  the  interns,  residents, 
and  nurses  for  work  rounds  at  8:00  a.m.  and  participate  in  the  daily  conference 
with  their  attending  physician  from  the  faculty  at  9:00  a.m.  Monday  through  Fri- 
day. At  1 1:00  a.m.  clinical  clerks  attend  a  student  lecture  delivered  by  members 
of  the  faculty  designed  to  teach  the  most  important  subjects  in  internal  medicine 
during  the  12-week  course.  At  noon  on  Wednesdays  and  Fridays,  students  join 
the  house  officers  and  faculty  at  Medical  Grand  Rounds  and  the  Morbidity  and 
Mortality  Conference.  During  the  afternoons  and  evenings,  clerks  examine 
patients  and  evaluate  laboratory  data  to  develop  diagnosis  and  treatment  pro- 
grams with  the  house  officers  and  faculty. 

Fourth  Year 

MEDC  548.  Student  Internship  (Subinternship  in  Medicine).  Each  fourth- 
year  student  takes  a  subinternship  in  medicine,  pediatrics,  surgery  or  family  prac- 
tice. The  student  internship  in  internal  medicine  occupies  eight  weeks,  four  of 
which  must  be  spent  on  the  general  medical  services  at  the  University  of  Mary- 
land Medical  System  or  the  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration  Medical  Cen- 
ter. During  the  other  four  weeks,  students  may  work  at  either  of  these  hospitals 

74     •     SCHOOL   OF   MEDICINE 


or  in  the  University  of  Maryland  Cancer  Center,  the  Coronary  Care  Unit  or  the 
Medical  Intensive  Care  Unit  of  the  University  of  Maryland  Hospital,  Mercy 
Medical  Center  or  at  one  of  the  other  hospitals  affiliated  with  the  University  of 
Maryland  Medical  System.  Student  interns  work  as  if  they  were  graduate  physi- 
cians but  under  the  close  supervision  of  the  resident  and  attending  physicians. 
Subinterns  are  on-call  in  the  hospital  with  their  resident  physicians  one  out  of 
four  nights.  The  amount  of  responsibility  delegated  to  subinterns  depends  upon 
the  extent  of  each  student's  knowledge,  dedication  and  maturity.  Successful 
completion  of  a  subinternship  in  medicine  prepares  students  particularly  well  for 
internships  in  any  subject. 

Laboratory  and  Clinical  Research  Electives.  The  faculty  of  the  Department  of 
Medicine  strongly  encourages  all  students  to  join  them  on  a  full-time  or  part-time 
basis  to  participate  in  research  projects  being  conducted  in  the  department.  This 
experience  may  be  scheduled  at  most  times  of  the  year.  Students  with  an  interest 
in  investigation  should  talk  with  members  of  the  faculty  or  the  chairman  about 
the  many  opportunities  for  this  work  available  in  the  Department  of  Medicine. 

GRADUATE  PROGRAM 

House  Officer  Training.  The  Department  of  Medicine  appoints  each  year  approx- 
imately 35  leading  members  from  the  fourth-year  class  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land School  of  Medicine  and  other  medical  schools  to  its  internship  at  the 
University  of  Maryland  Hospital  and  the  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration 
Medical  Center.  About  28  of  the  interns  remain  to  become  junior  and  senior  res- 
idents. At  the  completion  of  three  years  of  postgraduate  training,  house  officers 
become  eligible  for  certification  as  diplomates  of  the  American  Board  of  Inter- 
nal Medicine.  About  seven  of  the  interns  leave  the  program  after  one  year  for  res- 
idency training  in  specialties  such  as  anesthesiology,  dermatology,  neurology, 
ophthalmology  and  radiology. 

Interns  and  residents  care  for  all  the  inpatients  on  the  medical  services 
at  the  University  of  Maryland's  principal  teaching  hospitals  under  the  guidance 
of  the  department's  faculty.  Throughout  their  training  they  also  follow  the  med- 
ical progress  of  a  group  of  patients  in  the  outpatient  department. 

CONTINUING  MEDICAL  EDUCATION 

The  department  and  its  specialty  divisions  sponsor  several  courses  each  year  to 
inform  graduate  physicians  about  the  most  recent  developments  in  the  profes- 
sion. Physicians  also  are  invited  to  attend  the  regular  clinical  and  research  con- 
ferences held  by  the  specialty  divisions  and  the  weekly  Medical  Grand  Rounds 
held  on  Wednesdays  from  12:15  p.m.  to  1:15  p.m.

Division  of  General  Internal  Medicine  and  Geriatrics 

Professor  and  Head 

Mohamed  S.  Al-Ibrahim,  MB,  ChB 

Our  concept  of  the  general  internist  at  this  institution  is  that  of  an  individual 
who  is:  1 )  skilled  in  all  facets  of  health  care,  both  acute  and  chronic,  as  well  as 
the  ambulatory  and  inpatient  level;  2 )  an  educator  of  peers,  students  and  the  pub- 
lic; 3)  interested  in  the  impact  of  health  care  delivery  and  its  evaluation;  4)  an 
able  administrator  capable  of  management  decision  making  and  planning;  5)  an 
active  participant  in  the  affairs  of  the  community.  In  addition,  the  Division  of 
General  Internal  Medicine  and  Geriatrics  provides  education,  clinical  training 
and  research  experience  in  geriatrics  for  medical  students  and  graduate  trainees 
to  the  fellowship  level. 

The  goal  of  the  General  Internal  Medicine  and  Geriatrics  Program  is  to 
prepare  physicians,  beginning  with  inpatient,  ambulatory  and  elective  experi- 
ences during  the  students'  clinical  years  that  continues  with  an  extensive  gradu- 
ate medical  education  program.  The  division  delivers  a  wide  range  of  primary  and 
consultative  health  care  services  for  ambulatory  and  hospitalized  patients  at  Uni- 
versity clinical  sites  that  are  also  used  for  student  and  resident  medical  training. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

The  research  interests  within  the  division  are  broad  and  include:  biomedical  and 
clinical  investigation  of  the  aging  process  and  the  effects  of  obesity,  exercise, 
nutrition,  hypertension,  lipid  and  glucose  metabolism  on  cardiovascular  disease 
in  the  elderly;  evaluation  of  preventive  and  rehabilitative  care  strategies;  cur- 
riculum development  and  evaluation  in  ambulatory  education;  and  institution 
and  evaluation  of  health  care  practices  on  elderly  patients. 

UNDERGRADUATE  COURSES 

Selected  ambulatory  primary  care  elective  experiences  are  offered  as  part  of  the 
senior  ambulatory  rotation  in  internal  medicine  and  there  are  clinical  and 
research  electives  in  gerontology  and  medical  consultation.  For  further  informa- 
tion, consult  the  medicine  section  of  the  electives  catalog.  These  experiences  are 
offered  on  the  UMAB  campus  and  at  affiliated  medical  institutions. 

GRADUATE  PROGRAM 

The  graduate  medical  education  program  in  internal  medicine  educates  and 
trains  physicians  in  the  principles  and  practices  of  general  internal  medicine.  Our 
graduates  have  been  successfully  evaluated  against  the  most  stringent  natural 

standards  of  medical  practice  and  quality  of  patient  care.  Our  intent  is  to  prepare

clinicians  by  providing  training  via  a  broad  internal  medicine  curriculum.  Spe- 
cialized training  experiences  are  encouraged  and  are  presently  available  in  geri- 
atrics, risk  assessment,  preventive  care  and  rehabilitation  medical  care  as  well  as 
and  health  services  research.  Students  and  residents  are  supervised  by  a  team  of 
clinician  educators,  practitioners  and  scientists  in  the  program.  The  faculty 
include  general  internists  and  geriatricians,  psychiatrists,  epidemiologists,  clini- 
cal pharmacists,  primary  care  nurse  clinicians  and  social  workers. 

The  General  Internal  Medicine  Program  meets  the  requirement  for  cer- 
tification by  the  American  Board  of  Internal  Medicine,  and  provides  extensive 
medical  background  and  experiences  in  education  with  training  experiences  in 
clinical  practice,  research,  teaching,  management,  planning  and  evaluation  of 
health  care.

UNDERGRADUATE  COURSES 

Fourth  Year 

INFE  541-01.  Infectious  Diseases  Elective.  The  discipline  of  infectious  dis- 
eases is  uncommon  in  internal  medicine  in  that  it  is  not  restricted  to  one  organ 
system.  Indeed  the  types  of  patients  seen  by  the  Infectious  Diseases  Consultative 

82     •     SCHOOL  OF  MEDICINE 


Service  are  patients  in  virtually  all  departments  of  the  hospital.  These  patients 
are  often  among  the  most  acutely  ill  patients  and/or  the  most  difficult  diagnostic 
enigmas  within  the  hospital.  These  presentations  are  more  than  an  academic 
challenge;  many  infectious  diseases  can  be  cured  and  the  patient  restored  to  pre- 
vious health. 

The  diagnosis  of  infections  and  proper  management  of  patients  with 
these  diseases  are  taught  by  exposure  of  the  student  to  practical,  clinical,  labora- 
tory and  research  problems.  The  student  will  see  consultations  under  the  super- 
vision o(  a  full-time  attending.  A  clinical  infectious  disease  conference  for 
faculty,  house  staff  and  students  takes  place  each  week.  Specialized  programs  are 
available  in  AIDS,  pediatrics,  the  Maryland  Institute  for  Emergency  Medical 
Services  Systems  and  the  University  o(  Maryland  Cancer  Center. 

POSTGRADUATE  FELLOWSHIPS 

The  postgraduate  fellowship  is  a  combined  program  offered  by  the  Divisions  of 
Infectious  Diseases  and  Geographic  Medicine.  The  first  year  is  clinically  oriented 
and  is  spent  consulting  on  patients  with  problems  related  to  infectious  diseases. 
This  experience  is  obtained  through  rotations  at  the  University  o(  Maryland 
Hospital,  the  Veterans  Administration  Medical  Center,  the  Maryland  Institute 
for  Emergency  Medical  Services  Systems  and  the  University  of  Maryland  Can- 
cer Center.  Fellows  see  consults;  supervise  residents,  interns  and  medical  stu- 
dents; and  spend  much  of  their  time  teaching  and  providing  patient  care.  The 
second  and  subsequent  years  of  the  program  are  oriented  towards  research. 

Research  interests  in  the  division  include  pathogenesis  o(  bacterial 
infections,  research  physiology  of  acute  inflammation,  infections  in  cancer 
patients  or  severely  traumatized  patients,  nosocomial  infections  and  mechanisms 
of  action  and  pharmacokinetics  of  antibiotics.  Application  is  made  through  the 
division  head.

their  required  junior  electives  in  medicine,  surgery,  pediatrics  and  obstetrics  may 
elect  a  clinical  rotation  in  nephrology.  One-month  to  three-month  electives  will 
be  accepted.  The  student  is  expected  to  become  thoroughly  familiar  with  the 
approach  to  patients  with  kidney  diseases  and  acquainted  with  clinical  proce- 
dures. Each  student  will  present  at  one  nephrology  conference.  The  typical  rota- 
tion involves  the  student  in  seeing  consultations  with  fellows  and  attending 
nephrologists,  rounds  on  inpatients,  Renal  Clinic  activities  and  exposure  to  the 
dialysis  program.  Students  with  special  interest  in  particular  aspects  of  kidney 
function  or  kidney  disease  may  be  permitted  to  pursue  those  after  consultation 
with  the  division  head. 

NEPH  541-03.  Nephrology  Student  Fellowship  Elective,  Maryland  General

POSTGRADUATE  FELLOWSHIPS 

Qualified  physicians  may  apply  for  full-time  fellowships  in  nephrology.  Although 
a  one-year  clinical  fellowship  may  be  specially  arranged,  the  standard  fellowship 
is  for  two  years  of  training.  The  first  year  is  structured  to  produce  broad  experi- 
ence in  clinical  nephrology,  its  procedures  and  its  literature.  Basic  experience  in 
the  research  lab  is  provided.  The  second  year  is  largely  elective,  permitting  fel- 
lows to  pursue  their  chosen  direction  with  planning  and  supervision.  Additional 
years  of  experience  for  those  undertaking  special  projects  are  available.  Fellows 
completing  this  program  are  qualified  and  prepared  to  be  certified  in  nephrology. 
The  renal  fellowship  provides  full  clinical  responsibility  for  numerous  complex 
problems  in  renal  pathophysiology,  in  the  management  of  dialysis  patients  and 
the  care  of  patients  undergoing  kidney  transplantation.  Fellows  also  become  pro- 
ficient in  renal  biopsy  techniques,  peritoneal  and  hemodialysis.  The  laboratory 
offers  experience  in  studies  of  renal  metabolism/function  interrelationships  and 
immunologic  studies  of  kidney  disease.  The  fellow  is  given  significant  responsi- 
bility in  teaching  third-  and  fourth-year  students  and  in  the  supervision  of  resi- 
dents on  the  consulting  service.

o(  human  cancers.  In  particular  patients  with  neoplastic  diseases  are  treated 
according  to  treatment  programs  illustrating  the  opportunities  for  treatment  and 
support,  both  physically  and  emotionally,  of  the  patients  with  cancer. 

Clerkships  in  oncology  provide  close  interactions  with  fellows  and 
oncology  attendings  for  a  one-on-one  experience.  The  wide  diversity  of  internal 
medicine  diseases  seen  during  the  natural  history  of  many  cancers  makes  this  an 
intense  course  in  the  treatment  of  many  internal  medicine  problems  common  to 
adult  patients.  Clerkships  on  the  medical  oncology  consultation  service  provide 
the  interaction  with  other  specialties  in  the  management  o(  as  yet  undiagnosed 
patients  as  well  as  the  early  detection,  diagnosis  and  staging  of  malignancy. 
Clerkships  in  hematology  provide  exposure  to  benign  hematologic  problems. 
Individuals  on  all  clerkships  are  expected  to  attend  the  large  number  of  confer- 
ences available  on  a  weekly  basis  that  provide  didactic  information  about  natural

Neurology 


Department  of  Neurology 
Professor  and  Chairman 
Kenneth  P.  Johnson,  M.D.

Neurology  is  the  study  of  the  normal  and  diseased  nervous  system  that  includes 
central,  peripheral  and  neuromuscular  systems.  Faculty  members  participate  in 
courses  in  all  four  years  of  undergraduate  medical  education.  While  only  a  rela- 
tive few  medical  students  will  choose  careers  in  medical  or  surgical  neurology,  or 
in  the  basic  neurosciences,  all  medical  graduates  must  have  sufficient  under- 
standing of  the  basic  structure  and  function  of  the  nervous  system  to  perform  a 
satisfactory  neurological  examination,  recognize  and  treat  the  many  common 
neurological  disorders  and  know  when  to  refer  the  patient  to  a  neurological  spe- 
cialist. Of  special  importance  is  the  ability  to  distinguish  between  functional  and 
organic  neurological  symptoms  or  signs. 

The  discipline  of  neurology  has  maintained  close  ties  with  basic  science 
and  by  its  complex  but  logical  nature,  has  typified  the  scholarly  aspects  of  medi- 
cine. Recent  methodological  and  scientific  advances  have  created  a  new  and 
therapeutically  oriented  specialty  that  is  represented  in  the  philosophy  and  goals 
of  this  department. 

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

Research  activities,  at  both  the  basic  neuroscience  and  the  clinical  levels,  play 
an  important  role  in  the  activity  of  the  department.  A  broad  program  in  neu- 
roimmunology  and  biology  is  under  way.  The  department  holds  a  demyelinating 
diseases  clinical  center  grant  from  NIH  and  in  the  last  four  years  has  been  one  of 
the  most  active  centers  in  the  United  States  and  Europe  in  the  conduct  of  trials 
of  new  forms  of  therapy  for  multiple  sclerosis.  Basic  science  and  clinical  studies 
in  the  demyelinating  diseases  are  closely  integrated. 

Several  department  members  are  active  also  in  the  study  of  cerebrovas- 
cular disease  and  its  consequences.  A  clinical  stroke  center  funded  by  NIH  has 
also  been  established.  Special  emphasis  has  been  placed  on  the  application  of 
computer  sciences  to  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  stroke  and  a  strong  depart- 
mental program  studies  language  disorders.  A  very  active  program  in  diseases  of 
peripheral  nerve  and  muscle  has  been  undertaken  as  well.  Special  emphasis  has 
been  placed  on  the  pathogenesis  of  Guillain-Barre  syndrome  and  the  treatment 
of  myasthenia  gravis.  A  highly  developed  program  is  focused  on  epilepsy  with 
special  interest  in  cases  that  fail  medical  therapy  and  must  be  considered  for  neu- 
rosurgery. Active  research  at  the  molecular  level  is  under  way  into  neurologic 
degenerative  diseases  especially  Alzheimer's  Disease  and  Parkinsonism. 

An  expanded  program  in  neurorehabilitation  has  been  developed. 
Rehabilitation  sites  for  neurologically  damaged  patients  are  at  Montebello  and 
Kernan  Hospitals  in  Baltimore.  Specialized  research  programs  are  being  devel- 
oped primarily  in  the  rehabilitation  of  stroke,  head  injury,  spinal  cord  injury  and 
multiple  sclerosis  patients.

REHABILITATION  MEDICINE 

Division  of  Rehabilitation  Medicine 
Professor  and  Head 
Kenneth  P.  Johnson,  MD 

The  School  of  Medicine  has  developed  a  research  and  training  center  in  the  area 
of  neurologic  rehabilitation  with  the  full  knowledge  that  current  life-saving 
expertise  in  the  fields  of  trauma  (head  and  spinal  cord  injury),  combined  with 
major  technological  advances  in  medical  and  surgical  neurology,  has  yielded  and 
will  continue  to  yield  the  most  severely  disabled  patients.  There  is  no  indication 
that  the  incidence  of  neurological  disability  will  decrease;  more  likely  it  will 
increase.  Specialized  research  programs  are  under  way  in  the  areas  of  head  injury 
recovery,  controlled  reassessment  of  rehabilitation  techniques  and  improved 
communication  in  aphasic  patients  using  computer  assisted  language. 

The  Division  of  Rehabilitation  Medicine  is  committed  to  the  education 
of  medical  students,  resident  physicians,  physical  therapists  and  other  allied 
health  professionals.  Expectations  for  the  next  decade  indicate  that  the  rehabil- 
itation field  in  this  country  is  not  going  to  wait  for  residency  programs  to  train 
the  physiatrists  needed  to  provide  professional  direction  for  neurological  reha- 
bilitation programs.  Accordingly,  neurological  rehabilitation  probably  will 
depend  on  other  neurologists,  internists,  pediatricians,  and  neurological  and 
orthopedic  surgeons  to  carry  the  load.  These  physicians  will  need  not  only  appro 
priate  training  in  rehabilitation  management,  but  exposure  to  the  frontiers  o\ 
fundamental  research  in  neuroscience,  particularly  in  the  areas  of  neuroplastic-

ity  and  recovery  of  function.  To  this  end  a  two-year  fellowship  program  in  neu- 
rologic rehabilitation  has  been  established. 


Obstetrics  and  (gynecology 

Department  of  Obstetrics  and  Gynecology 

Professor  and  Chairman 

M.  Carlyle  Crenshaw,  Jr.,  MD 

The  department  provides  a  learning  experience  that  encourages  each  student, 
regardless  of  ultimate  career  choice,  to  develop  professional  attitudes,  diagnostic 
skills  and  knowledge  relevant  to  the  human  female  and  to  her  sexual  and  repro- 
ductive systems.  This  experience  enables  each  student  to  assume  more  effective 
responsibility  for  the  general  delivery  of  health  care  to  the  adolescent,  adult  and 
aging  female  and  to  the  newborn. 

The  student  is  taught  to  recognize  more  accurately  those  patients  who 
require  special  gynecologic  consultation.  Health-related  social  problems  such  as 
family  planning  are  discussed  as  well  as  other  aspects  of  population  control,  sex- 
ual difficulties,  sterilization  and  induced  abortion. 

The  educational  material  is  presented  so  as  to  familiarize  students  with 
all  sources  of  knowledge  relevant  to  these  subject  areas.  Students  may  extend 
their  knowledge  and  skills  in  a  direction  and  depth  appropriate  to  current  and 
ultimate  career  goals.  Students  are  also  encouraged  to  take  electives  in  basic, 
clinical  and  social  research. 

The  service  roles  focus  on  the  general  areas  of  obstetrical  and  gyneco- 
logic care.  Obstetrics  deals  with  a  high-risk  pregnancy  population  and  provides 
excellent  educational  opportunities  for  both  student  and  resident.  Specialty  clin- 
ics in  endocrinology,  complicated  pregnancy,  cancer,  pre-  and  postoperative 
evaluation  and  family  planning  provide  specific,  specialized  areas  of  instruction 
in  addition  to  serving  large  numbers  of  patients.  Cancer  detection  and  therapy 
plays  a  major  part  in  the  gynecologic  program. 

The  department  utilizes  audiovisual  aids  to  enhance  the  educational 
experience  o(  both  medical  students  and  residents.  The  faculty  also  contributes 
to  the  postgraduate  educational  programs  at  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical 
System  and  throughout  the  state.

Pathology 

Department  of  Pathology 
Professor  and  Chairman 
Benjamin  F.  Trump,  MD 

The  primary  goal  of  the  Department  o(  Pathology  is  the  better  understanding  of 
human  disease  with  emphasis  on  mechanisms  of  disease  and  changes  occurring 
at  the  subcellular  level  and  in  molecular  terms.  The  student  achieves  this  goal  in 
three  phases:  1 )  by  acquiring  the  basic  principles  of  pathology  and  applying  those 
principles  to  the  diagnosis  and  study  of  health  care  delivery  as  expressed  in  diag- 
nostic areas  such  as  surgical  pathology,  clinical  pathology,  cytology,  forensic 
pathology  and  autopsy  pathology;  2)  by  establishing  a  philosophy  of  critical  eval- 
uation and  judgment  concerning  the  problems  of  health  and  disease  in  humans; 
and  3)  by  developing  feelings  of  personal  responsibility  and  ethics  for  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine. 

The  department's  philosophy  is  that  the  study  of  disease  includes  both 
structure  and  function  and  is  carried  out  from  the  level  of  the  patient  to  that  of 
the  molecule. 

The  student  is  exposed  to  anatomical  and  clinical  hospital  pathology 
services  with  additional  training  at  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration  Medical 
Center  and  other  local  hospitals.

UNDERGRADUATE  MEDICAL  PROGRAM 

Second  Year 

PATH  501.  General  and  Systemic  Pathology.  The  essentials  of  pathology  are 
covered  in  such  a  way  as  to  form  a  good  foundation  for  the  student's  continuing 
medical  education.  The  course  is  divided  into  "general"  or  pathobiology  and  "sys- 
temic" pathology.  It  starts  with  the  study  of  the  basic  principles  of  pathology  as 
embodied  in  the  areas  of  cell  injury,  inflammation,  immunopathology,  neoplasia 
and  environmental  and  forensic  pathology.  These  are  followed  by  the  study  of 
diseases  of  the  various  organ  systems.  Pathophysiology  and  the  study  of  mecha- 
nisms of  disease,  as  well  as  morphology,  are  stressed.  Various  disciplines  are  inte- 
grated in  this  approach  and  clinical  correlative  sessions  provide  opportunities  for 
application  to  clinical  situations.  The  course  consists  of  lectures,  small  group  lab- 
oratories and  seminars.  The  laboratory  sessions  are  in  smaller  groups  under  the 
direction  of  faculty  members  assigned  to  each  student  group.  (Drs.  Trump,  T. 
Jones  and  R.Jones) 

ELECTIVES 

Supplementing  the  core  program  are  more  than  20  course  offerings  for  freshman, 
sophomore  and  senior  medical  students.  These  opportunities  span  a  wide  range  o( 
departmental  activities  from  system-oriented  courses  such  as  renal,  pulmonary, 
neurological  or  cardiovascular  pathology  to  process-oriented  instruction  such  as 
environmental  pathology,  carcinogenesis  and  research  seminars.  The  latter  are 
conducted  with  the  aid  of  a  number  of  guest  speakers  who  are  leading  authorities 
in  their  fields.  Research  and  clinical  preceptorships  are  encouraged. 

Other  courses  are  of  more  general  interest  and  include  seminars  in  clin- 
ical pathology  or  clinical  clerkships  in  Baltimore  area  hospitals.  Medical  students 
also  have  access  to  courses  in  experimental  pathology  such  as  histochemistry,  tis- 
sue culture  or  pathological  biochemistry. 

Most  of  the  aforementioned  courses,  conforming  with  the  4-1-4-1 
arrangement  of  the  freshman  year,  are  offered  in  January  and  June  while  others 
are  given  during  the  regular  semester  as  longitudinal  elect ives.  For  course  listing, 
time  and  content  description  consult  the  pathology  section  in  the  appropriate 
elective  catalogs. 

Advanced  Accelerated  Program  in  Pathobgy  (AAPP) .  The  AAPP  admit- 
ted the  first  group  of  students  in  the  fall  o(  1975  in  an  effort  to  permit  early  spe- 
cialization and  target-oriented  education.  The  track  in  pathology  begins  in  the 
freshman  year.  It  makes  use  of  all  the  resources  of  the  Department  of  Pathology, 
and  includes  three  types  of  experience:  1 )  exposure  to  the  practice  of  pathology, 
2)  study  of  one  selected  field  of  study  and  })  exposure  to  research.  Five  students 
are  admitted  during  their  first  year.  They  are  required  to  fulfill  .ill  the  require- 
ments ot  the  medical  school  program;  however,  the\  are  not  pledged  to  sock  a 
career  in  the  field  of  pathology.  The  training  in  the  trick  program  should  provide 
the  student  with  the  knowledge  of  a  one-year  residency  program.  Tune  spent  in

RESEARCH  INTERESTS 

Research  efforts  in  the  Department  of  Pathology  focus  upon  the  pathobiologic 
mechanisms  of  human  disease  at  the  cellular,  subcellular  and  molecular  levels. 
Current  projects  involve  a  broad  spectrum  of  diseases  to  include  cancer, 
immunologic  disease,  heart  disease,  shock,  infectious  disease  and  aging. 

Cancer  research  efforts  focus  upon  accurately  defining  the  sequence  of 
events  within  cells  following  their  exposure  to  confirmed  carcinogens,  mutagens 
and  environmental  toxins.  This  involves  the  development  of  varied  strategies  for 
assaying  human  risk  from  environmental  pollutants  and  the  development  of  ani- 
mal and  fish  models  for  human  disease  with  environmental  etiologies. 

Research  efforts  in  heart  disease  are  directed  toward  providing  a  defin- 
itive description  of  the  mechanisms  that  lead  to  cell  death  subsequent  to  the 
depletion  or  complete  loss  of  oxygen  supply.  Identification  of  parameters  whose 
manipulation  might  result  in  impeding  or  halting  cell  death  and  development  of 
improved  methods  of  therapy  for  preventing  the  damaging  effects  of  shock  are 
integral  components  of  this  research. 

Faculty  research  projects  in  infectious  diseases  focus  on  the  delineation 
o{  the  mechanism  by  which  microbes  invade  and  destroy  human  cells;  the  iden- 
tification of  microbial  antigens  with  the  capacity  to  elicit  an  autoimmune  disease 
in  the  host;  the  study  of  mechanisms  o(  immunologic  injury  as  related  to  com- 
plement-mediated lysis;  immune  complex  diseases  and  autoimmunity;  and  the 
analysis  of  the  events  leading  to  cell  death  as  a  consequence  of  the  normal  process 
of  aging. 

GRADUATE  PROGRAM 

The  Department  of  Pathology  offers  programs  of  study  leading  to  the  PhD  degree 
or  the  combined  MD/PhD  degree  in  medical  pathology,  the  PhD  degree  in  foren- 
sic toxicology  and  the  MS  degree  in  pathology.  Areas  o(  concentration  offered 
in  the  MS  degree  program  are  medical  pathology  (including  anatomic  pathology 
and  clinical  chemistry)  and  forensic  toxicology.  The  master's  and  doctoral  pro- 
grams train  individuals  for  research  and  service  in  pathology  and  related  fields. 
Research  programs  use  modern  techniques,  including  x-ray  microanalysis,  quan- 
titative microscopy,  flow  cytometry  with  cell-sorting  capability,  spectrofluorom- 
etry  and  calcium  imaging. 

The  program  leading  to  the  PhD  in  medical  pathology  includes  com- 
prehensive training  in  experimental  pathology  with  emphasis  on  the  patho- 
genesis of  cell  injury  and  carcinogenesis;  environmental  pathology;  and 
immunology.  Students  working  toward  combined  MD/PhD  degrees  in  medical 
pathology  are  enrolled  simultaneously  in  the  School  of  Medicine  and  the  Grad- 
uate School  in  specially  tailored  programs  designed  to  meet  their  specific  goals

and  research  interests  as  physician-scientists.  The  PhD  program  in  forensic  tox- 
icology (legal  medicine)  includes  comprehensive  training  in  toxicology,  gross 
anatomic  pathology  related  to  toxicology,  instrumental  analysis,  medicinal 
chemistry  and  pharmacology. 

The  program  leading  to  an  MS  degree  in  pathology  is  highly  individu- 
alized. Concentrations  in  medical  pathology  and  forensic  toxicology  are 
designed  for  students  seeking  training  in  laboratory  work  and  research  methods. 
Training  in  anatomic  pathology,  one  of  three  such  programs  in  the  United 
States,  prepares  students  for  certification  as  a  pathologist's  assistant.  Training  in 
clinical  chemistry  prepares  individuals  for  certification  in  clinical  chemistry  and 
for  advanced  work  in  this  discipline.

Psychiatry 

Department  o(  Psychiatry 
Professor  and  Chairman 
John  A.  Talbott,  MD 

The  goal  of  undergraduate  psychiatric  education  is  to  acquire  an  understanding 
of  and  an  appreciation  for  the  application  of  behavioral  and  psychiatric  princi- 
ples in  patient  care  and  health  maintenance  through  an  exposure  to  a  progres- 
sive sequence  of  intellectual  stimulations,  clinical  experiences  and  appropriate 
professional  socialization.  More  specifically,  the  curriculum  aims  to  assist  the  stu- 
dent in:  1)  acquiring  a  foundation  of  knowledge  regarding  the  psychological, 
sociological  and  humanistic  aspects  of  the  practice  of  medicine;  2)  mastering 
basic  interpersonal  and  psychiatric  skills  relevant  to  the  management  of  patients 
with  medical  and/or  emotional  illness;  })  emulating  attitudes  and  values  thai 
enhance  the  professional  roles  and  practices  ol  a  physician. 

The  curriculum  is  divided  into  a  core  program  which  consists  of  require  J 
courses  offered  during  the  first  three  years  of  medical  education,  and  an  electives 
program  which  provides  a  variety  of  courses  (clinical,  didactic  and  research)  tor 
the  students  who  are  interested  in  furthering  their  knowledge  and  experience  in 
some  aspect  of  the  theory  and  practice  oi  psy<  hiatrv  and  its  related  fields.  These

elective  courses  are  offered  during  the  January  and  June  minimesters  of  the  pre- 
clinical years  and  in  the  senior  year.  The  four-year  Combined  Accelerated  Pro- 
gram in  Psychiatry  (CAPP)  is  offered  as  an  advanced  elective  track  to  selected 
students  with  a  special  interest  in  the  behavioral  sciences. 

UNDERGRADUATE  MEDICAL  PROGRAM 

First  Year 

PSYCH  510.  Behavioral  and  Social  Sciences.  (72  hours).  This  interdisciplinary 
course  provides  a  context  for  the  integration  of  diverse  behavioral  science  con- 
tributions that  are  relevant  to  the  understanding  o(  human  behavior.  Emphasis 
is  on  the  emergence  of  a  broader  concept  of  life  sciences  that  constitutes  medi- 
cine, one  that  views  the  human  organism  holistically  as  a  dynamic  biological  sys- 
tem whose  inherent  aspects  of  structure,  organization,  ontogeny  and  functioning 
are  determined  or  influenced  by  developmental,  intrapsychic,  interpersonal  and 
sociocultural  factors.  The  course  runs  through  both  semesters  for  a  total  of  72 
hours;  42  hours  in  the  fall  semester  and  30  hours  in  the  spring  semester. 

The  purpose  of  the  course  is  to  assist  students  in:  1 )  acquiring  a  founda- 
tion of  knowledge  in  psychological,  sociological  and  humanistic  aspects  of  the 
practice  of  medicine  based  on  the  study  of  the  behavioral  and  social  sciences  and 
clinical  psychiatry;  2)  learning  about  the  behavioral  aspects  of  human  develop- 
ment that  change  throughout  the  life  cycle;  3)  understanding  physician-patient 
interaction  in  various  clinical  situations  including  death  and  dying  and  learning 
about  basic  psychophysiology  of  emotions  and  human  interaction. 

The  course  is  presented  in  the  form  of  lectures-presentations  and  small 
group  sessions.  Small  group  sessions  are  scheduled  on  a  weekly  basis  throughout 
both  semesters.  Their  purpose  is  to  provide  students  with  the  opportunity  to 
apply  the  concepts  learned  in  class  to  medical  practice  situations. 

First  Semester:  This  section  provides  basic  introductory  concepts  in  the  field  of 
behavioral  and  social  sciences,  and  is  designed  primarily  to  meet  the  needs  of 
those  students  whose  premedical  curriculum  did  not  allow  sufficient  exposure  to 
these  sciences.  The  central  theme  is  man  as  an  individual  viewed  from  a  devel- 
opmental, intrapersonal,  interpersonal  and  humanistic  viewpoint,  and  his  pas- 
sage through  the  vicissitudes  o(  the  family  life  cycle.  These  basic  dimensions  of 
behavior  are  presented  in  the  following  course  units:  1 )  human  growth  and  devel- 
opment and  2)  psychological,  sociological  and  cultural  aspects  of  health,  illness 
and  treatment. 

Second  Semester:  This  section  views  man  in  his  transactions  with  the  environ- 
ment and  in  the  context  o(  larger  systems.  Its  major  focus  is  on  the  psychologi- 
cal, interpersonal  and  sociocultural  aspects  of  illness  and  health  care.  Course 
units  include:  1)  physician-patient  interaction  and  2)  issues  of  dying,  death  and 
grief.  In  addition,  the  second  semester  contains  a  unit  on  "brain  and  behavior."

Second  Year 

The  goal  of  sophomore  psychiatry  is  to  provide  students  with  basic  psychiatric 
interviewing  skills  and  with  a  foundation  of  clinical  knowledge  in  the  area  of  psy- 
chopathology  and  psychiatric  diagnosis  as  a  preparation  for  their  junior  clerkship 
in  psychiatry.  This  sequence  is  organized  around  two  courses  as  follows: 

Psychiatric  Interviewing/History  Taking.  This  course  is  part  o(  the  Introduc- 
tion to  Clinical  Practice  (ICP)  which  is  devoted  to  specialty  physical  diagnosis 
and  examination  (psychiatry,  pediatrics  and  neurology). 

The  psychiatric  course  is  devoted  to  psychiatric  interviewing,  history 
taking,  and  mental  status  examination.  Rotation  is  two  hours  a  week  for  six  weeks 
(12  hours),  which  is  offered  during  the  fall  semester  for  12  weeks  (two  rotations) 
on  Friday  afternoon  and  again  in  the  spring  semester  for  another  12  weeks  (two 
rotations)  on  Friday  afternoons. 

The  course  uses  a  small  group  format,  in  which  groups  of  five  students 
meet  with  an  instructor  for  six  two-hour  sessions.  In  the  first  session  the  instruc- 
tor reviews  the  general  principles  and  goals  of  psychiatric  interviewing  and  men- 
tal status  examination,  and  interviews  a  volunteer  psychiatric  patient  from  the 
inpatient  service  in  the  small  group.  Each  week  thereafter  each  student  inter- 
views another  patient  before  his  small  group.  Following  the  interview,  the  group 
discusses  the  interviewing  technique  and  describes  the  psychopathology  elicited 
by  history  and  mental  status.  Each  week,  as  an  assignment,  the  students  write  up 
either  a  comprehensive  mental  status  examination  of  the  interview  they  witness 
or  a  complete  psychiatric  history  with  mental  status  included.  The  write-ups  are 
corrected  by  the  instructors  and  returned  to  the  students  as  an  important  source 
of  feedback  in  improvement. 

There  are  about  30  students  per  six-week  rotation  assigned  to  six  groups. 

PSYCH  520.  Psychopathology  (60  hours).  This  course  is  designed  to  provide 
students  with  the  basic  concepts  of  clinical  psychiatry  including  psychopathol- 
ogy and  psychiatric  treatment  modalities.  It  is  scheduled  in  a  three-week  block 
at  the  beginning  of  the  spring  semester  concurrently  with  the  Epidemiology  and 
Preventive  Medicine  and  Ethics  courses. 

The  course  format  is  based  on  brief  lectures,  audiovisual  demonstrat  ions 
(videotapes,  films)  and  small  group  sessions.  At  the  beginning  of  the  course  each 
student  is  given  an  instruction  handbook,  handouts,  reprints,  outlines  and  a  list 
o\  videotapes  to  be  presented. 

CLINICAL  YEARS 

PSYCH  530.  Junior  Psychiatry  Clerkship.  (6  weeks)  The  clinical  clerkship  in 
psychiatry  is  the  main  clinical  psychiatric  experience  oi  a  I  fniversityoi  Maryland 
medical  school  graduate.  It  is  usually  taken  in  the  third  year  and  is  a  six-week 

intensive  experience  combining  inpatient  and  outpatient  work  in  which  the  stu- 
dent is  exposed  to  a  variety  o(  psychopathologies  as  well  as  .i  \  ariety  oi  treatment

modalities.  Under  the  preceptorship  of  a  psychiatry  resident  and  a  ward  attend- 
ing, the  student  is  assigned  his  own  patients  and  families  to  work  with.  This 
involvement  with  and  responsibility  for  patient  and  family  provide  an  ideal  set- 
ting in  which  the  student,  under  supervision,  can  apply  the  psychosocial  con- 
cepts he  learned  in  his  first  year  of  behavioral  sciences,  with  the  concepts  of 
psychopathology  he  learns  in  his  second  year  and  the  clinical  skills  of  psychiatric 
interviewing,  history  taking  and  mental  status  examination.  Usually  the  student 
becomes  an  integral  part  of  the  ward  milieu  and  treatment  team. 

The  clerkship  involves  student  assignments  to  the  following  training 
sites:  Institute  of  Psychiatry  and  Human  Behavior  (IPHB),  Walter  P.  Carter 
Center,  Spring  Grove  Hospital  and  Baltimore  Veterans  Administration  Medical 
Center. 

Students  are  assigned  to  both  inpatient  adult  wards  (two  students  per 
ward)  and  outpatient  clinics.  Night  calls  are  required  for  all  students.  In  all  affil- 
iated training  facilities,  students  are  assigned  to  wards  or  clinics  under  the  super- 
vision of  residents  and  attending/clinical  faculty. 

All  students  are  required  to  attend  the  following  didactic  courses  and 
conferences,  which  are  offered  on  each  Tuesday  of  the  six-week  rotation: 

Liaison/Consultation  Psychiatry  (6  hours) 
Clinical  Case  Conference  (9  hours) 
Alcoholism  and  Drug  Abuse  (6  hours) 
Psychopharmacology  &  Patient  Management  (6  hours) 
Basic  Psychiatry  Review  (6  hours) 
Child/Adolescent  Psychiatry  (3  hour) 
Consultation/Liaison  (3  hours) 

Students  assigned  to  the  inpatient  wards  of  the  IPHB  and  those  of  the 
affiliated  hospitals  are  required  to  attend  ongoing  clinical  case  conferences,  ward 
meetings,  staff  meetings,  and  other  clinical  activities.

INTIMATE  HUMAN  BEHAVIOR 

S.  Michael  Plaut,  PhD,  Coursemaster 

HCPR  512.  Intimate  Human  Behavior  (IHB)  -  Sexuality  and  intimacy  are 
important  and  sensitive  areas  of  our  lives  that  for  a  variety  of  reasons  often 
present  communication  difficulties.  When  questions  or  concerns  arise,  a  physi- 
cian or  other  health  care  provider  is  typically  the  first  person  from  whom  help 
and  counsel  are  sought.  A  health  care  provider's  ability  to  respond  to  these 
needs  depends  heavily  on  that  individual's  own  level  of  comfort  with  these 
issues.  The  IHB  course  provides  students  with  the  opportunity  to  examine  and 
assess  their  attitudes,  feelings  and  beliefs  about  various  dimensions  of  intimacy 
and  sexuality,  and  to  become  familiar  with  current  knowledge  about  human 
sexuality  and  treatment  of  sexual  problems. 

Teaching  faculty  include  12  lecturers  and  30  small  group  facilitators  represent- 
ing various  helping  professions.  The  freshman  course  begins  in  November  with 
a  2-1/2  day  workshop  spent  viewing  audiovisual  materials  -  many  of  a  sexually 
explicit  nature  -  with  small  group  discussion  o(  their  reactions  to  these  films 
and  related  issues.  Discussion  is  facilitated  by  experienced  faculty  and  includes 
such  topics  as  verbal  and  nonverbal  communication,  heterosexual  and  homo- 
sexual relationships,  masturbation,  sexuality  in  the  elderly  and  the  disabled. 

The  second  part  of  the  course,  given  during  the  Spring  semester,  includes  a 
series  o{  12  weekly  lectures.  These  are  designed  to  provide  students  with  the 
knowledge  and  skills  needed  to  provide  appropriate  intervention.  Topics 
include:  anatomy  and  physiology  of  sexual  function,  assessment  and  treatment 
of  sexual  disorders,  sexual  counseling  for  patients  with  acute  and  chronic  ill- 
nesses, pharmacologic  effects  on  sexual  function,  sexual  abuse  oi  children  and 
adolescents,  sexuality  throughout  the  life  cycle  and  sexual  issues  faced  by  the 
health  professional. 

Grading 

A  letter  grade  is  assigned  based  on:  (1)  required  attendance  at  all  November 
workshop  sessions,*  (2)  examination  to  include  both  multiple  choice  and 
essay  components  at  the  end  of  the  Spring  semester,  O)  submission  of  an 
Honors  paper,  if  eligible,  by  earning  an  "A"  in  the  course. 

A  limited  number  of  Students  who  wish  to  participate  in  the  work 
shop  portion  of  the  course  with  their  partners  may   be  offered  the 
opportunity  to  do  the  workshop  portion  during  a  weekend  in  January

GENETICS 

Tina  M.  Cowan,  PhD,  Course-master 

MANA  514.  The  first-year  course  provides  an  introduction  to  the  application 
of  basic  genetic  principles  to  the  study  of  human  health  and  disease.  Topics 
covered  include  Mendelian  inheritance,  cytogenetics,  population  genetics, 
biochemical  genetics,  molecular  genetics  and  clinical  genetics.  The  impor- 
tance of  human  genetics  to  the  practice  of  medicine  is  stressed  by  the  inclu- 
sion of  clinical  correlation  sessions  where  students  have  the  opportunity  to 
hear  patients  and  their  families  discuss  the  practical  and  emotional  impact  of 
genetic  disease. 

The  course  is  taught  by  a  combination  of  lectures,  small  groups  and  clinical 
correlate  sessions.  Problem  sets  for  each  small  group  session  are  distributed  at 
the  beginning  oi  the  semester.  The  small  group  sessions  are  designed  to  rein- 
force the  information  discussed  in  lecture,  stressing  problem-solving  skills. 

Grading 

A  midterm  and  a  final  examination  are  given.  Both  exams  are  comprised  of  a 
combination  of  multiple  choice,  short  answer  and  problem-solving  questions. 
The  midterm  constitutes  one-third  and  the  final  constitutes  two-thirds  of  the 
total  grade. 


INTRODUCTION  TO  CLINICAL  PRACTICE  (ICP) 

David  Stewart,  MD,  MPH,  Coursemaster 

HCPR  511.  This  program  of  instruction  has  as  its  objective  training  in  the  art 
as  well  as  the  science  o(  medicine.  This  includes  the  practical  skills  of  commu- 
nication and  the  professional  attitudes  essential  to  the  effective  and  humani- 
tarian practice  of  medicine.  Every  effort  is  made  to  correlate  basic  science  and 
clinical  material. 

Introduction  to  Interviewing  and  Historv^Taking 

"...the  interview,  in  my  view,  is  the  most  powerful,  sensitive  and  versatile  instru- 
ment available  to  the  physician.  The  interview  serves  many  functions.  Through  it  a 
relationship  is  initiated,  the  conditions  and  requirements  for  communication  are 
established,  roles  and  obligations  are  defined,  the  information  necessary  to  delineate 


disease  and  to  characterize  the  patient  and  his  life  circumstances  is  collected,  data 
processed,  the  patient  and  his  family  are  prepared  for  decisions  and  judgments  and 
instructed  in  care,  and  a  human  compact  between  patient  and  physician  is  achieved. " 

George  Engel,  M.  D. 

Introduction  to  Interviewing  and  History-Taking  is  given  during  the  freshman 
year.  It  is  an  eight-week  course  which  consists  of  lecture  demonstrations  dur- 
ing the  first  two  weeks,  followed  by  small  group  meetings  in  the  remaining 
weeks.  It  is  given  in  the  second  semester.  The  students  meet  once  a  week  for 
four  hours  and  are  introduced  to  techniques  in  communication,  listening, 
observation  and  interviewing.  At  the  end  of  this  course  students  are  expected 
to  feel  more  comfortable  in  interviewing  a  patient  and  taking  a  complete  med- 
ical history. 


Objectives 


To  learn  the  rudiments  o(  an  appropriate  medical  interview,  focusing 
on  inquiry  into  the  medical  symptoms  of  the  patient's  present  illness. 
The  psychosocial  factors  of  the  patient's  life  related  to  his  health 
have  the  same  importance  as  the  medical  factors  and  must  be  elicited 
with  tact  and  appropriate  technique. 

To  develop  an  appropriate  physician-patient  relationship  by  first 
focusing  on  the  medical  symptoms  since  these  are  the  areas  o(  com- 
plaint with  which  the  patient  introduces  himself  to  the  doctor.  Thus 
techniques  and  appropriate  logical  history-taking  will  allow  the  doc- 
tor to  penetrate  the  psychosocial  area,  obtain  the  information  that  he 
needs  for  a  comprehensive  diagnosis  and  elicit  the  patient's  coopera- 
tion in  his  or  her  treatment. 

To  understand  how  personal  attitudes  and  values  of  both  the  physi- 
cian and  patient  influence  both  the  relationship  that  develops 
between  them  and  the  entire  process  of  the  physical  and  personality 
diagnosis  and  prescription  and  the  therapy  and  rehabilitation. 

To  recognize  the  effect  of  verbal  and  nonverbal  communication  and 
to  use  these  to  influence  the  physician-patient  relationship. 

To  be  able  to  appreciate  how  an  individual's  values  and  ethics  play  a 

role  in  medical  practice. 


Organization  of  the  Course 

The  class  is  divided  into  two  groups  and  these  again  into  smaller  groups  with 
one  faculty  instructor  and  up  to  ten  students  per  group.  The  course  opens  with 
instruction  in  communication,  listening,  observation  and  non-verbal  behav- 
ior, followed  by  instruction  in  how  to  meet  the  patient  and  start  an  interview. 
In  the  small  groups  these  techniques  will  be  practiced  and  there  will  be  discus- 
sion of  what  can  be  learned  from  the  information  collected. 

Topics  to  be  covered  include:  how  to  elicit  the  chief  complaint  and  the  pres- 
ent illness,  previous  medical  and  surgical  history,  the  patient's  psychosocial 
history  and  the  review  of  organ  systems.  Wherever  possible,  patient  symptoms 
will  be  related  to  anatomic  and  pathophysiologic  considerations.  Audio-visual 
aids  such  as  video  taping  will  be  utilized  to  teach  proper  interview  technique. 

Grading 

Each  student  will  receive  a  pass/fail  grade  for  the  freshman  ICP  course.  This 
grade  will  be  assigned  by  each  appropriate  instructor  on  the  basis  oi  student 
attendance,  performance  in  medical  interviewing  and  a  written  examination. 

Instructors  may  use  examinations,  take-home  problem-solving  tasks,  observa- 
tions o{  student  performance,  attendance  and  any  other  appropriate  tech- 
niques required  to  obtain  data  for  a  final  semester  grade.  Attendance  is 
mentioned  because  some  ICP  components  are  of  short  duration  and  if  a  stu- 
dent is  not  present  for  an  adequate  proportion  of  the  course,  he/she  cannot  be 
given  a  passing  grade.

The  University  of  Maryland  Cancer  Center  was  established  by  the  Division  of 
Cancer  Treatment  of  the  National  Cancer  Institute  in  1965  as  the  Baltimore 
Cancer  Research  Center  at  the  Wyman  Park  U.S.  Public  Health  Service  Hospi- 
tal. In  1974  the  center  moved  to  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  and 
remained  an  intramural  NCI  program  under  contractual  arrangement  between 
the  NCI  and  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore  until  1982,  when  it  became 
the  University  of  Maryland  Cancer  Center.  The  clinical  effort  of  the  center  was 
established  as  a  separate  clinical  entity  within  the  University  of  Maryland  Med- 
ical System.  Formal  academic  status  was  granted  for  the  Cancer  Center  in  the 
School  of  Medicine  as  the  "Program  of  Oncology,"  and  the  Cancer  Center  fac- 
ulty have  academic  appointments  in  various  clinical  and  basic  science  depart- 
ments of  the  School  of  Medicine. 

Activities  of  the  Program  of  Oncology  include  basic  and  clinical  cancer 
research;  student  and  house  officer  teaching  and  a  strong  focus  on  aggressive 
treatment  and  intense  patient  care  in  the  53-bed  inpatient  and  outpatient  ser- 
vices of  the  cancer  center.  In  addition  to  full-time  attending  services  on  medical 
oncology  and  hematology,  Program  o(  Oncology  faculty  members  provide  a 
uniquely  supportive  program  involving  a  multimodality  approach  to  the  treat- 
ment of  patients  with  primary/secondary  malignancy  involving  the  central  ner- 
vous system  and  lungs  as  well  as  patients  on  the  gynecological  and  surgical 
services  of  oncology,  genitourinary,  otolaryngology  and  neuro-oncology. 

The  University  of  Maryland  Cancer  Center  is  a  strong  participant  in  new 
drug  development  and  performs  research  on  new  anticancer  drugs.  Virtually  every 
important  drug  in  use  in  oncology  today  has  been  tested  in  this  program,  and  the 
center  has  contracts  in  both  the  public  and  private  sectors  with  a  commitment  to 
clinical  and  laboratory  research.  Pilot  studies  and  Phases  I,  II  and  III  Trials  are  per- 
formed, which  run  the  gamut  from  testing  efficacy  and  potential  applicability  of  a 
given  treatment  program  and  establishing  dose  and  toxicity  limitations  of  new 
drugs,  to  comparing  treatment  programs  for  superiority  of  treatment,  toxicity  and 
outcome.  These  studies  tend  to  be  definitive  treatment  programs  that  have  major 
impact  on  the  practice  of  oncology  nationwide.  The  faculty  has  a  strong  commit- 
ment to  interinstitutional  cooperative  scientific  trials  and  cancer  research.

The  cancer  center's  Laboratory  of  Immunology  Research  generated 
safety  and  efficacy  data  that  played  a  key  part  in  obtaining  FDA  approval  for  clin- 
ical use  of  genetically  engineered  recombinant  alpha  interferon.  Since  1982  the 
cancer  center  has  played  an  important  role  in  studies  of  acquired  immunodefi- 
ciency syndrome  and  related  disorders. 

Students  and  residents  participate  in  weekly  grand  rounds  and  confer- 
ences, and  students  are  encouraged  to  become  involved  in  research. 

MEDICAL  AND  RESEARCH  TECHNOLOGY 

Department  of  Medical  and  Research  Technology 
Professor  and  Chairman 
Denise  M.  Harmening,  PhD 

The  Department  of  Medical  and  Research  Technology  currently  offers  a  major 
in  clinical  laboratory  sciences  (medical  technology).  Two  additional  majors  are 
being  investigated  for  future  implementation;  a  cytogenetic  technology  major 
and  a  biomedical  science/biotechnology  major.  University  of  Maryland  at  Balti- 
more's clinical  laboratory  sciences  major  combines  the  advantages  of  a  major 
research  university  with  the  benefits  of  small  classes  and  a  low  faculty-to-student 
ratio.  As  a  component  of  this  large  academic  health  center,  the  Department  of 
Medical  and  Research  Technology  affords  students  unusual  opportunities  to  par- 
ticipate in  a  stimulating  educational  environment  while  gaining  practical  expe- 
rience in  clinical  laboratory  medicine. 

Clinical  laboratory  sciences  provides  information  crucial  to  the  diag- 
nosis and  prevention  of  diseases,  the  management  of  patient  therapy  and  the 
maintenance  of  health.  Clinical  laboratory  scientists  are  involved  in  performing 
laboratory  procedures  ranging  from  identification  of  a  microorganism,  to  pro- 
viding blood  for  emergency  transfusion. 

Students  complete  a  two-year  preprofessional  curriculum  at  the  region- 
ally accredited  college  or  university  of  their  choice.  Those  attending  two-year 
institutions  may  transfer  directly  to  the  Department  of  Medical  and  Research 
Technology  at  the  University  of  Maryland  at  Baltimore.  Most  students  complete 
the  professional  curriculum  in  two  years;  however,  a  three-year  part-time  option 
is  available  for  non-traditional  students. 

The  clinical  laboratory  sciences  concentration  of  study  fulfills  require- 
ments set  forth  by  the  National  Accrediting  Agency  for  Clinical  Laboratory  Sci- 
ences and  is  accredited  by  the  Committee  on  Allied  Health  Education  and 
Accreditation  on  behalf  of  the  American  Medical  Association.

CLINICAL  AFFILIATIONS 

During  the  final  component  of  the  program,  students  complete  clinical  practice 
courses  in  five  specialty  areas.  Placement  in  clinical  sites  is  guaranteed  upon 
admission. 

The  department  affiliates  with  28  clinical  facilities  in  the  Baltimore- 
Washington  area.  The  clinical  facilities  include  hospital,  community  and  mili- 
tary laboratories  of  various  sizes,  as  well  as  independent  laboratories.  The  number 
and  variety  of  the  clinical  sites  are  assets  that  set  UMAB's  clinical  laboratory  sci- 
ences major  apart  from  the  rest  and  allow  our  students  to  experience  several  dif- 
ferent work  environments.

PHYSICAL  THERAPY 

Department  of  Physical  Therapy 
Associate  Professor  and  Chairman 
Clarence  W.  Hardiman,  PhD 

The  School  o(  Medicine  offers  the  entry  level  Master  of  Physical  Therapy  Pro- 
gram on  the  UMAB  campus.  Students  complete  three  years  o(  preprofessional 
course  work  prior  to  beginning  their  studies  at  UMAB. 

Clinical  experiences  are  provided  in  general/acute,  rehabilitation, 
orthopaedic,  sports  medicine,  pediatrics,  geriatrics,  industrial  medicine  and  com- 
munity health  settings  locally,  and  in  centers  located  over  a  wide  geographic  area 
throughout  the  United  States. 

Successful  completion  of  a  three-year  preprofessional  program  and  the 
physical  therapy  program  results  in  a  Master  o(  Physical  Therapy  degree  and  a 
certificate  of  proficiency  in  physical  therapy. 

Applicants  must  have  a  grade  point  average  of  not  less  than  2.7  and  90

lectual honesty  in  the  pursuit  of  new  knowledge.  By  tradition,  students  and 
teachers  have  certain  rights  and  responsibilities  which  they  bring  to  the  acade- 
mic community.  While  the  following  statements  do  not  imply  a  contract 
between  the  teacher  or  the  institutions  and  the  student,  they  are  nevertheless 
conventions  which  should  be  central  to  the  learning  and  teaching  process. 

Faculty  Rights  and  Responsibilities 

1 .  Faculty  members  shall  share  with  students  and  administrators  the  responsi- 
bility for  academic  integrity. 

2.  Faculty  members  shall  enjoy  freedom  in  the  classroom  to  discuss  all  subject 
matter  reasonably  related  to  the  course.  In  turn  they  have  the  responsibility 
to  encourage  free  and  honest  inquiry  and  expression  on  the  part  of  students. 

3.  Faculty  members,  consistent  with  the  principles  o{  academic  freedom,  have 
the  responsibility  to  present  courses  that  are  consistent  with  their  descrip- 
tions in  the  catalog  of  the  institution.  In  addition,  faculty  members  have  the 
obligation  to  make  students  aware  of  the  expectations  in  the  course,  the 
evaluation  procedures,  and  the  grading  policy. 

4.  Faculty  members  are  obligated  to  evaluate  students  fairly,  equitably  and  in  a 
manner  appropriate  to  the  course  and  its  objectives.  Grades  shall  be  assigned 
without  prejudice  or  bias. 

5.  Faculty  members  shall  make  all  reasonable  efforts  to  prevent  the  occurrence 
oi  academic  dishonesty  through  appropriate  design  and  administration  of 
assignments  and  examination,  careful  safeguarding  of  course  materials  and 
examinations,  and  regular  reassessment  of  evaluating  procedures. 

6.  When  instances  of  academic  dishonesty  are  suspected,  faculty  members  shall 
have  the  responsibility  to  see  that  appropriate  action  is  taken  in  accordance 
with  institutional  regulations.

dent records  is  assured.  Specifically,  the  act  provides  for  the  student's  access  to 
educational  records  maintained  by  the  school,  challenge  to  content  of  the 
records  and  control  of  disclosure  of  the  records.  A  full  policy  statement  may  be 
found  in  the  current  UMAB  Answer  Book,  issued  to  all  students.

No  provision  o(  this  publication  shall  be  construed  as  a  contract  between  any 
applicant  or  student  and  the  University  of  Maryland.  The  university  reserves  the 
right  to  change  any  admission  or  advancement  requirement  at  any  time.  The  uni- 
versity further  reserves  the  right  to  ask  a  student  to  withdraw  at  any  time  when 
it  is  considered  to  be  in  the  best  interest  of  the  university.

HUMAN  RELATIONS  CODE  SUMMARY 

UMAB  has  a  Human  Relations  Code  for  use  by  the  entire  campus  community. 
The  code  represents  UMAB's  commitment  to  human  relations  issues.  The  spe- 
cific purposes  of  the  code  include: 

1.  Prevention  or  elimination  o{  unlawful  discrimination  on  the  basis  oi  race, 
color,  creed,  sex,  sexual  orientation,  marital  status,  age,  ancestry  or  national 
origin,  physical  or  mental  handicap,  or  exercise  of  rights  secured  by  the  First 
Amendment  of  the  U.S.  Constitution;  and 

2 .  Establishing  a  timely,  effective  grievance  procedure  as  an  alternative  to  more 
lengthy  formal  processes  for  resolution  of  human  relations  issues. 

A  Human  Relations  Committee  was  created  to  oversee  the  code.  It  is  comprised 
of  campus  faculty,  administrators  and  students  and  is  advisory  to  the  president  oi 
the  campus.  The  committee  may  institute  educational  programs  and  provide  an 
open  forum  on  human  relations  issues.  In  addition,  the  committee  is  charged 
with  maintaining  a  mediation,  investigation  and  hearing  process  for  specific 
complaints  o(  discrimination  brought  by  students,  faculty  or  staff.  The  code 
describes  the  particulars  of  the  hearing  process.  It  is  the  intent  of  the  code  to  pro- 
vide a  grievance  procedure  for  an  individual  on  campus  who  wants  a  cross-sec- 
tion of  the  campus  community  to  investigate  and  mediate  a  problem  without 
having  to  resort  to  complaints  to  external  agencies  such  as  the  Maryland  Com- 
mission on  Human  Relations,  complaints  under  personnel  rules  or  lawsuits. 

Copies  of  the  Human  Relations  Code  are  available  in  the  dean's  office,  the  student 
affairs  and  USG  A  offices  in  the  Baltimore  Student  Union,  and  the  human  resources 
management  and  affirmative  action  offices  in  the  administration  building.
